Intro: C
      C
She was a livewire, she was stuck in the past
   F                                G
I was holding the middle, you was waking up fast
  C
It was four in the morning, she was holding on tight
F                          G
to a David Bowie look a like circa '85
  C
Now he's turning up his amplifier, staring at his toes
  F                                    G
Even when he's looking at you he's still looking down his nose
    C
Sounds like surf music maybe more than just a little
   F                                    G
but to me it's just another form of California dribble
G
the top and bottom look straight to me but shaky in the middle

         C                     Am
Well there's something to be learned here
       F                       G
Though it may seem a little insincere
     C                     Am
Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
        F                            G
You're a country singer I'm a cavalier

        C
Well I wanna know the whole story over
          F                     
Where you came from, where you going,
       G
However long it takes to know you
        C
With your heavy metal heartbeat, Salty but you seem sweet
F                         G
Tippy toes on both feet, Rockin to the teen beat

         C
Well, ice cream, soda pop, bourbon on top
           F                                 G
Some people call it rock and roll and some people call it pop
           C
Some call it country music every time you use a fiddle
              F                         G                
How am I supposed to know if that's a fact or just a riddle?
        G
Too tight around the edges, leave a little room to wiggle.

    C                        Am
Well there's something to be learned here
     F                        G
Though it may seem a little insincere
   C                       Am
Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
    F                               G
You're a country singer I'm a cavalier


Oh oo oh oo oh (x8) (same chord progression as chorus) 

      C                        Am
Well there's something to be learned here
    F                         G
Though it may seem a little insincere
 C                         Am
Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear
      F                               G
You're a psycho killer, I'm a cavalier
