verse 1 chords :
A G
i survived the dinner and the air went thinner

i retired to the briars by the pool , it gets so loud
A G
if i die this instant , taken from a distance
D A
they would probably list it down , among other things ’round town

chorus 1 chords :
G D A
got my rings around me , i got baby to pound me
A
i see stars and go weak , my baby cries and lays me down
G D A
in the skies over black venice , i see eyes of a white menace
A
the surprise of the week , is that i never heard the sound

verse 2 : [ use verse 1 chords ]
all the l . A . women , fall asleep while swimmin’
i got paid to fish ’em out and then one day i lost the job
and i cried a little , i got fried a little
then she laid her eyes on mine , and she said , “babe , you’re better off”
