verse chords
the drinking i did on my last big gig made my voice go low
they said that they liked the younger sound when they let me go

that’s how this business goes

Fmaj7 C
i’m a big time guest mc

Em D
got a spot on the top of my head , begging for a new toupee
Fmaj7 C
and a tire on my gut from sitting on my
D Em
but they’re never gonna go away
Em D
sometimes i get this crazy dream
Fmaj7 C
that i just drive off in my car
Em D B
but you can travel on ten thousand miles and still say where you are
Em D
i’ve been thinking that i should quit disk jockeying
Fmaj7 C
and start that record store
C D Fmaj7 Em
maybe i could settle down if you’ld take me back once more
