verse 1 

A                       G 
  I survived the dinner   and the air went thinner 
D                  A 
  I retired to the briars by the pool, it gets so loud 
A                       G 
  If I die this instant,   taken from a distance 
D                             A 
  They would probably list it down, among other things 'round town 


 
G               D                             A 
  Got my rings around me, I got baby to pound me 
A 
  I see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down 
G                         D                             A 
  In the skies over black Venice, I see eyes of a white menace 
A 
  The surprise of the week, is that I never heard the sound 



verse 2: use verse 1 chords 

All the L.A. women, fall asleep while swimmin' 
I got paid to fish 'em out and then one day I lost the job 
And I cried a little, I got fried a little 
Then she laid her eyes on mine, and she said, "Babe, you're better off" 


Chorus 2: use Chorus 1 chords 

I got my rings around me, I got baby to pound me 
I see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down 
In the skies over black Venice, I see eyes of a white menace 
The surprise of the week, is that I never heard the sound 


Bridge 1:
 
Am       G      D         A 
  Tunnel vision lights my way 
Am       G      D      A 
  Lead a little life today 


Bridge 2:
 
A                     G                      D                      A 
As the free-fall advances, I'm the moron who dances, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah 
A                 G                        D                     A 
I was teething on roses, I was in guns and noses, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah 
          Am                    G        A 
Under the withering white skies of humiliation 
          Am                    G        A 
Under the withering white skies of humiliation 


Bridge 3: 

Tunnel vision lights my way 
Lead a little life today 
Tunnel vision lights my way 
Lead a little life today
