[Verse 1]
 
Ab                   F7                  Fm
Do you really wanna give him the microphone?
Eb                 Eb7
You know that he'll keep talking long after everyone's gone home
Ab                      F          F7
We'll have to pay to keep the lights on
           Ebm7        Eb                             Eb7
And that bill will arrive just when all our savings have gone
Ab                        F7
Can I say something? Can I give advice?
Bbm7       Eb7     Ebm7     Eb7          Ab
Just hit the main switch so we can sleep well tonight

[Verse 2]
Ab                    F     F7                  Eb
My social standing got me six rows from the front
   Ebm7                     Eb
And my dinner companion was a little drunk
Ab                      F7             F             Eb
Says he buys the paper but he reads between the lines
        Bbm7            Ebm               Eb
"I can show you how I do it, why don't you come back to mine?"
Ab                            F7
Oh, please say something, I'm dying for your advice
Bbm                                Eb             Db                Fm
I can tell you won't sleep well if you don't teach me how to do it right
 
F7 Fm7 F7
Huh
 
Bbm Eb Eb7
Huh
 
[Outro]
Ab             F7                 Bb7
Call me a ride, I can't walk home
Eb7                                                 Ab
Can't stand the pain from these shoes I've now outgrown
              Do you really wanna give him the microphone?
You know that he'll keep talking long after everyone's gone home
We'll have to pay to keep the lights on
And that bill will arrive just when all our savings have gone
Can I say something, can I give advice?
Just hit the main switch so we can sleep well tonight

My social standing got me six rows from the front
And my dinner companion was a little drunk
Says he buys the paper but he reads between the lines
I can show you how I do it, why don't you come back to mine?
Oh please say something, I'm dying for your advice
I can tell you won't sleep well if you don't teach me how to do it right

Call me a ride, I can't walk home
Can't stand the pain from these shoes I've now outgrown
