Upside Down Barenaked Ladies
Tuning: Standard
Intro Chords: C#m, B, A, G#
I'm not surprised it's come to [C#m]this, Sooner or later there must be another's
[G#]kiss,[A] Behind that kiss a promise of a life of [G#]bliss, Yeah, great I [A]won't be
takin' the [C#m]bait - I'd rather [F#]drown And I [A]will not turn my w[B]hole life upside
[E]down
Imagine everything you've [C#m]done, Under a microscope on view for every[G#]one,[A] and
if the King of Circumspection's here He's [G#]come in vain I w[A]on't be sharing
the [C#m]blame - I wear the [F#]crown and I [A]will not turn my w[B]hole life upside [C#m]down
Nothing's [G#]good enough for [C#m]me To shake me [G#]from complacen[C#m]cy, I make my m[G#]ind up
and I'll [F#]never be The kind of man who'd make a [C#m]choice, For if I hold my
tongue I'll never lose my [G#]voice,[A] If each attempted act of sabotage des[G#]troys
all hope I [A]won't be needing a r[C#m]ope - I'm gagged and [F#]bound and I [A]will not
turn my [B]whole life upside [E]down
[A]And if the genie were set [E]free,[A] and by the laws of things like t[E]hat he's
indebted to me.[A] I'd bury my three wishes [G#]deep down in the [C#m]ground, So I [A]will
not turn my w[B]hole life upside [E]down.

Though I appreciate the [C#m]aim, tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his
[G#]fame,[A] i'd only use it to make everything the [G#]same again so [A]don't applaud
till the end[C#m] - I'm not a[F#]round cause I w[A]ill not turn my w[B]hole life upside [C#m]down
Nothing's [G#]good enough for [C#m]me, to shake me [G#]from complace[C#m]ncy, I've made my
[G#]mind up I won't [F#]make a sound, and I w[A]ill not turn my w[B]hole life upside [E]down
A bit of a weird solo and really hard to put down on tab, but its there and is as near
enough perfect as I can get it. I'm 100% certain the chords are right and I just hope
that you can follow it ok. Any queeries, suggestions etc, e-mail me at any of the addresses below,
Thanks,
