verse 1
 
D 
If it doesn't kill you it'll make you stronger 
D 
But if it kills you you'll be dead 
G 
Use fluorescent bulbs, they'll probably last longer 
D 
But the buzzing sound might hurt your head 
B                                             B/C# 
There's two ways of looking at your problem 
D                           D/C#  D/C 
Right or wrong, win or lose 
B 
Stand around and you'll never get the job done 
D                     C 
All you have to do is choose 



    F                G 
Madelaine, stay with me 
    D               E 
Madelaine, leave me be 
    Bb                  A                  D 
Madelaine, just tell me what you're gonna do 
    F                G 
Madelaine, stay for more 
    D               E 
Madelaine, use the door 
    Bb                  A            D 
Madelaine, I'm gonna leave it up to you 


verse 2 
D 
You could buy a dog to keep away the bad guys 
D 
But you'd have to walk him every day 
G 
You could open up a Chicken Kitchen franchise 
D 
Piss off the ASPCA 
B                                        B/C# 
Either way, you better make your mind up 
D                            D/C#  D/C 
What is what, which is which 
B 
'Cause on the mound, they're ready with the windup 
D                          C 
And you can't miss another pitch 



    F                G 
Madelaine, stay with me 
    D               E 
Madelaine, leave me be 
    Bb                  A                  D 
Madelaine, just tell me what you're gonna do 
    F                G 
Madelaine, stay for more 
    D               E 
Madelaine, use the door 
    Bb                  A            D 
Madelaine, I'm gonna leave it up to you 


BRIDGE: 

Gm      A       Gm      A 
So many tasties on your plate 
Bb        F              G 
What is a hungry girl to do? 
Gm      A      Gm     A 
Already it may be too late 
Bb                      C     D 
I'm sick of cooking for you 


verse 3 

D 
You could tell me that it's getting past your bedtime 
D 
And that you have to say good night 
G 
You could tell me that you've had way too much red wine 
D 
You would probably be right 
B                                          B/C# 
Either way, you better wash those glasses 
D                            D/C#  D/C 
You've got friends coming by 
B 
And besides, you're sick of making passes 
D                    C 
Truth be told, so am I 



    F                G 
Madelaine, stay with me 
    D               E 
Madelaine, leave me be 
    Bb                  A                  D 
Madelaine, just tell me what you're gonna do 
    F                G 
Madelaine, stay for more 
    D               E 
Madelaine, use the door 
    Bb                  A            D 
Madelaine, I'm gonna leave it up to you
