There's no charity in you and that surprises me
C                                                                                            Am                            E  
I guess I thought you were a golden idol cause I called you majesty
Am                 G                              Am  
On the balustrade you watched me hunt for
D                                                                                              D7  
Tips I was obliged to pick up from the passing trade
C                                 F                                              Am                            Am7                            D7  
Hey, kids--look at this it's the fall of the world's own optimist
C                                                                            F                                                              Am         Am7/G    BbE  
I could get back up if you insist but you'll have to ask politely
                                        Am                                                         E                                                         C                                            G

                        F              Am            Dm                              F                    Am                    G              G7

Well, I could have objections which you could override
C                                                                                                                 D/F#  
But what's the point--we're only flogging the horse
                                        E                                            E7  
When the horseman has up and died
Am                 G                                         Am                                         D  
Once I testified and swore I'd never leave a stone unturned
     D7  
I bet you're really glad that I lied
