(x4) (bass line --)
(verse)
Who am I? Do you recognize me?
Of course you don't. I'm nobody.
I have no money. I have no name.
I tear the tickets at the hall of fame.
(chorus)
I buy my dinner at the seven-eleven
Eat it in the kitchen while I watch TV
I like my free time and I love my wife
You'll find my number on the B-side of life
(verse)
Once I got lucky. I had a band
We had a song it got to number 3
Made lots of money. Made lots of friends
Had lots of pretty people hangin' 'round me
Now all I want is a place to hide
To feel safe from the chaos outside
A cold refrigerator, a warm bed
A place where no one will stick a gun to my head
(chorus)
I buy my dinner at the seven-eleven
Eat it in the kitchen while I watch TV
I like my free time and I love my wife
We're happy living on the B-side of life
(bridge)
We had a key to the city
But the rooms it did unlock
Were full of over-priced portraits
Engaged in cheap small talk
(verse)
So turn out the lights, turn up the radio
Don't know the singer but I love that song
I know that I'm no Baryshnikov baby
But I wanna dance with you all night long
(verse no lyrics - Oooh oooh etc...)
(chorus)
I'll buy you dinner at the seven-eleven
Eat it in the kitchen while we watch TV
Tonight's my birthday. Let's have a party
I'm thirty with a bullet from the B-side of life
Note: If you don't like playing all of these barre chords, you can transpose it down a half step.
