[Verse 1]
T[F]his here, is the place where I will be sta[C]ying,
| [C]/ [Cadd9] / [Cmaj7] / [C]/ | There i[F]sn't a number,
You can c[F]all the pay-phone,
L[C]et it ring a lo[C]ng, [Cadd9]long, [Cmaj7]long, l[C]ong t[F]ime,
If [F]I don't pick- up, ...hang up, ...c[Am]all back,
Let it ri[C]ng some more! [F]Oh--[C]--! | [C]/ [Cadd9] / [Cmaj7] / /[C] |
If [F]I don't pick- up, ...pick- up,
The sidewinder s[Am]leep, sleep, sleeps in a c[C]oil![C]

Oh---------!
[Verse 2]
There are scra[F]tches all around the coin slot,
Like a hea[C]rtbeat, baby, t[C]ry -[Cadd9] ing [Cmaj7] to w[C]ake [F]up,
But this machine can only swa[C]llow money,
You can't lay a patch by com - p[F]uter design,
It's just a lot of st[Am]upid, stupid si[C]gns,
T[F]ell her--[C]--, | [C]/ [Cadd9] / [Cmaj7] / [C]/ |
T[F]ell---- her she can kiss my a[C]ss,
Then laugh, and s[C]ay [Cadd9]that [Cmaj7]you we[C]re o[F]nly kidding,
That w[F]ay, she'll know that it's re[Am]ally, really,
Really, really m[C]e,...[C]me!

[Verse 3]
B[F]aby, instant soup doesn't really grab me,
To - d[C]ay I need something more s[C]ub...[Cadd9] sub...
[Cmaj7] Sub...s[C]ub - sta[F]ntial,
A c[F]an of beans, or black-eyed peas,
Some Ne[C]scafe and i[C]ce,[Cadd9] [Cmaj7] [C]
A ca[F]ndy bar, a fallen star,
Or a re[Am]ading from Doctor Su[C]ess![C]

[Bridge]
[Bm] The cat in the hat came back,
Wr[Am]eaked a lot of havoc on the [Bm]way,
Always had a smile, and a reason [Am]to pretend,
But their world [Bm] ...has flat backgrounds,
And little n[Am]eed to sleep, but to dr[C]eam,
The sidewinder s[Em]leeps on his b[Em]ack!

[Cborus]
