Version 1Rodriguez - Cause [Intro] E C F# Am E [Pre-Verse] E A x2 [Verse 1] E A E A Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas E A And I talked to Jesus at the sewer E A And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business [Verse 2] E A While the rain drank champagne E A My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted E A E A Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted [Chorus] E A G#m B Oh but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald, E A G#m B Neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed E A [Verse 3] E A E A Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumours E A E A But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners E A E A And I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening E Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone A E A And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving [Chorus] E A G#m B Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson E A G#m B And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson E A [Verse 4] E A Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues E A And I explained that I had overpaid them E A So overdued I went to the company store E A and the clerk there said that they had just been invaded E A E A So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill E A E A Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still [Interlude] E A x2 [Verse 5] E A Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun E A In weekends of whiskey sours E A E A Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book and plant flowers? [Outro] E A x2 E C F# Am end on E
