[Verse]

Bb         Bb/A         C              C/B
Dance like a butterfly and drink like a fish
 Bb            Bb/A                  C              C/B
If you're bent on taking demons down with only your fist

And I've never known anyone who could lose himself in a bigger paper bag
Bb            Bb/A         C            C/B
The weaker the signal, the sweeter the noise
Bb            Bb/A               C          C/B
Hunching over an instrument that you now employ
Dm                 Dm/C        C/B                 A        Bb
Like the Starvation Army needs a marching piano in the band
Bm         Bb     G+
Are you feeling used?
Em7
I do

[Chorus]

  F      A7        G+     Bb
Oh, I was pissing on the flame
  F      A7           G+            Bb
Like a child with cash or a king on cocaine
     F               A7
I've got the world by the balls
G+            Bb
Am I supposed to behave?
 A      
What a fraud
Am
What a con
Em
You're the only
G    Bb   A
One I love

[Verse]

Bb           Bb/A         C                C/B
It's easy to assume that you've built some rapport
Bb            Bb/A                C             C/B
With a someone who only likes you for what you like yourself for
Dm             Dm/C           C/B                  A             Bb
Okay, you be my mirror but remember the only a few angles I tend to prefer
Bm       Bb      G+     Em7
I'm only here to serve

[Chorus]
Alt
F     A7         G+     Bb
Oh, I was pissing on the flame
F            A7         G+           Bb
Like a child with cash or a king on cocaine
F                     A
I've got the world by the balls
  G+           Bb
Am I supposed to behave?
F        A7
Oh, I was dancing 'round the flame
F              A7         G+           Bb
Like a high-wire act with a "who, me?" face
F             A7          G+           Bb
I was living on nothing but water and cake
A 
What a fraud
Am
What a con
Em
You're the only
G     Bb
One I love
G     Bb
One I love
G     Bb    A
