Intro
[F] [Dm] [Gm] [C]
[F]They opened up a bar called "Living [Dm]Hell"
Right from the start it didn't go too[Gm] well
They didn't have the vibe or quite [C]the right clientele
[F]They bought a velvet rope and the door man [Dm]laughed
They got robbed blind by half the [Gm]wait staff
Six short weeks and[C] they were forced to sell
[Bb]Richie and [F]Ruben
[G#]Don't know what they're [Eb]doin'
[Bb]Richie and [F]Ruben
Are both a little [C]out of their minds
Don't give 'em a dime

Whoa-o [Gm]a-a-o
Where did the money go?
[C]Where did the money go?
[F]They opened a boutique they called "[Dm]Degree"
Together with some kid from F.I[Gm].T.
Though later it turned out he never quite
[C]Got his degree
[F]Eleven hundred bucks for a ripped up [Dm]shirt
That came pre-stained with bleach and black[Gm] dirt
Seemed just a little bit
[C]Too steep to me - e - e - - e - e
[Bb]Richie and [F]Ruben
[G#]Don't know what they're [Eb]doin'
[Bb]Richie and [F]Ruben

Just like they blew through m[Dm]ine
-- Bridge --
[Dm]And ever since the [Gm]seventh grade
They've been sayin that [C]"we've got it ma[C7]de"
And I haven't [G#]gotten paid
Gotten [F#]paid at all[F]
A-whoa a-a-o[Dm]
Whoa-o a-a-[Gm]o
