[Chorus]
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me!
[Verse 1]
Em7 F#m7 Em7
J'ai les glandes with your theatrics, your acting's a drag,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
It's okay on T.V., 'cause you can turn it off, but don't try me,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Yes, your marriage is a tragedy, but it's not my concern,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
I am very superficial, I hate anything official!
[Chorus]
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
(You've been lying to someone about me! ...Stop!)
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
(You've been lying to someone about me! ...Stop!)
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
(You've been lying to someone about me! ...Stop!)
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out!
(You've been lying to someone about me!)

[Verse 2]
Em7 F#m7 Em7
No, sentimental gestures only bore me to death,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
At - tachment to obligation through guilt & regret, shit, that's so wet,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations!
[Chorus]
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
(You've been lying to someone about me! ...Stop!)
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
(You've been lying to someone about me! ...Stop!)
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
(You've been lying to someone about me! ...Stop!)
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out!
(You've been lying to someone about me!)

[Verse 3]
Em7 F#m7 Em7
You asked me for advice, I said, "Use the door!",
Em7 F#m7 Em7
But you're still clinging to some - body you deplore,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
And now you want to use me for emotional blackmail,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
I just feel pity when you lie, con - tempt when you cry!
[Chorus]
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
(You've been lying to someone about me! ...Stop!)
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
(You've been lying to someone about me! ...Stop!)
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life, private life-----, leave me out,
(You've been lying to someone about me! ...Stop!)
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out!
(You've been lying to someone about me!)
