[Verse 1]
[A]Well let me tell you something let me tell you so
This could be the one thing that you really need to know
You got to [D]stop once in a while
And shake off that f[A]ace of yours
Cause n[F#]othing comes easy no it j[C#]ust comes free
[F#]You could sing it better if you'd s[C#]ing it for me oh si[E]ster
[Verse 2]
Well I [A]cannot claim this advice as my own
I learned it in the gutter one night coming home
She said "D[D]on't you look ridiculous" I checked her out meticulous[A]ly
I w[F#]ould've stopped to argue but my te[C#]eth were broke
I said "I'd l[F#]ove to contradict you but my li[C#]fe's a joke oh sis[E]ter"
[Chorus]
She said I[A]'m no genius and I've lost my self
The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
And it's o[D]ne time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
[A]Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
[E]Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
[D]Me I only knew her as an acid jazz singer come o[A]n
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well I[A]'m a lucky man and maybe so is she
And maybe this is just the way it has to be
It's all b[D]ased on speculation seems a crazy occupation to [A]me
And though I d[F#]idn't much believe her I was b[C#]ound to call
I really d[F#]idn't want to miss a single th[C#]ing at all oh si[E]ster
[Chorus]
She said I[A]'m no genius and I've lost my self
The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
And it's o[D]ne time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
[A]Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
[E]Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
[D]Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come [A]on
[Instrumental Break]
(repeat 4x with varying speed)
[Chorus]
She said I[A]'m no genius and I've lost my self
The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
And it's o[D]ne time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
[A]Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
[E]Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
[D]Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come [A]on
I h[E]aven't seen her lately man I have to ring her
[D]Put your hands together for the acid jazz singer co[A]me on
