Verse 1:
And [D]you [A] were righ[D]t to bide your time[Bm] and not[F#m] buy into my [G]misery[D]
Well the [G]good things are never [F#m]free
Do the [Em]colours of the [F#m]rainbow look the [G]sam[F#m]e to[Bm] ev[A]eryo[A]ne?
Verse 2:
And [D]I [A] was rush[D]ing round in circ[Bm]les for [F#m]a reas[G]on to believe[D]
Wipe the [G]slime from off your [F#m]sleeve
You could [Em]follow me for [F#m]weeks and I'm not [G]go[F#m]ing [Bm] an[A]ywhe[A]re
Break 1:
[Em] Sometimes it's [B]hard to love [A]someone
[Em] Until the [B]day that they [A]are gone
Verse 3:
And [D]I [A] just had [D]a dream the othe[Bm]r nigh[F#m]t I was marrie[G]d to the Queen[D]
And Ma[G]donna lived next [F#m]door, I think she [Bm]took a shine to [A]me
And the [G]kids were all grown [F#m]up, but I [Em]had to turn her [F#m]down
Cause I was [G]still in [F#m]love w[Bm]ith[A] you
Chorus:
G F#m D5 A5/riff
I'm turning Madonna down

I'll get a ticket to what you need

Jimi Hendrix
Duane Allman

Elvis Presley
I re[Em]member I stayed [F#m]up to watch the n[G]ews with e[F#m]very[Bm]one[A]
Chorus:
G F#m D5 A5/riff
And that was a lot of nights
G F#m Bm A/riff
And that was a lot of lads
G F#m D5 A5/riff
Who lost a ticket to what they need
Verse 5:
And [D]I [A] was [D]busy [Bm]finding [F#m]answers while you just g[G]ot on with real l[D]ife,
Always [G]hoped you'd be my [F#m]wife,
But I [Bm]never found the [A]time for the [Em]question to [F#m]arrive,
G F#m Bm(V) A
I just disguised it in a song
Verse 6:
And [D]songs[A] are [D]never [Bm]quite the [F#m]answer
Just a [G]soundtrack to a [D]life, that is [G]over all too [F#m]soon
Helps to [Em]turn the days to [F#m]night
While I was [G]wrong and [F#m]you w[Bm]ere[A] right
Chorus:
G F#m D5 A5/riff
And this was a lesson learned,
G F#m Bm A/riff
I'm happy to be your fool,
G F#m D5 A5/riff
And get you tickets to what you need

[G] [F#m] [Bm] [A]
Chorus:
G F#m D5 A5/riff
I'm turning the lights down low
G F#m Bm A/riff
I'm ready to make my move
I'll get you [G]ticke[F#m]ts to w[D5]hat[A5] you ne[D]eeee-eeeed
