Chords Elvis Costello - Cheap Reward
Lyrics Elvis Costello - Cheap Reward
this is how he played it on the colbert report , i think , minus the live innuendos
he adds himself . he does a simple little fill before the B7 and it sounds like :
E | – – – – – – – |
B | – – – – – – – |
G | – – – – – – – |
D | – – – – – – – |
A | – 0 – 1 – 2 – |
E | – – – – – – – |
G C
oh , well , i feel so loose tonight i might fall to pieces
D G D
so be prepared to sweep me out the door
G C
and i might be horizontal by the time the music ceases
D G
so i think i’ll get acquainted with the floor
B7 C
oh , i was trying to get away from the things that i always do
B7 D
hello , floorboards once again – – how are you?
G C
lip service – – well , that’s all you’ll ever get from me
D G D
well , how could you believe i’ll take you seriously?
G C
with your cheap rewards , your blackmail , and your comical rage
D G
just remember you’ll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
G C
all the sign posts on this road that point one way
D G D
don’t act like you’re above me , just look at your shoes
G C
i’ll turn the light out now ’cause there’s nothing more to say
D G
and it’s all been lost before so there’s nothing to lose
B7 C
oh , but you could say that you love me very painlessly
B7 D
i would’ve done the same for you , but you said to me :
G C
lip service – – well , that’s all you’ll ever get from me
D G D
well , how could you believe i’ll take you seriously?
G C
with your cheap rewards , your blackmail , and your comical rage
D G
just remember you’ll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
D G
oh just remember you’ll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
