[E]I am r[B]eady for my c[A]lose up [E]today
[E]Too long I?ve [B]let my self-re[A]spect stand in m[E]y way
Well the [C#m]prom qu[E]een's caught in the h[A]igh be[E]ams
And the st[C#m]rings k[E]een it?s a b[A]ig sce[B]ne
But when the h[E]ouse goes up in fl[C#m]ames
[F#m]No one emerges trium[A]phantly from it
When the [E]scum begins to circle the d[C#m]rain
[F#m]Everybody loves a w[Am]inner

[E]I spent eight [B]hours in my m[A]ake-up c[E]hair
[E]Waxed my [B]chest and shaved off a[A]ll my h[E]air
Well the f[C#m]ire's br[E]ight and the f[A]rame's t[E]ight
Try to [C#m]get ri[E]ght; well, we?ve s[A]till got [B]light
