Am | (spoken) | |
This is | a story about your friend and mine - |
Who is it, who is it, who is it? |
Am | C | |
There you stand with your | L.A. tan |
D | Fmaj7 | Am | |
And your | New York walk and your | New York ta-a- | alk. |
Am | C | |
Your mother left you when | you were small |
D | Fmaj7 | Am | |
But you're | gonna wish you wasn't | born at a-a- | all. |
D | F | G | Am | |||
Steel and | glass | - | Steel and | gla-a-ass. |
D | F | G | Am | |||
Steel and | glass | - | Steel and | gla-a-ass. |
Am | C | D | Am | |
mmh - | mmh - | mmh - | mmh |
Your phone don't ring, no one answers your call. |
How does it feel to be off the wa-a-all? |
Am | C | D | Am | |
Well your mouthpiece squawks as you spread your lies, |
But you can't pull strings if your hands are tie-ie-ied. |
Well your teeth are clean, but your mind is capped, |
You leave your smell like an alley ca-a-at. |
Steel and glass - Steel and gla-a-ass. |
Steel and glass - Steel and gla-a-ass. |
Am | C | D | Am | |
nah - | nah - | nah - | nah |
Am | C | D | Am | D | F | G | Am | |
yeah - | yeah - | yeah - | yeah - |
