G C
Oh, well, I feel so loose tonight I might fall to pieces
D G D
So be prepared to sweep me out the door
G C
And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases
D G
So I think I'll get acquainted with the floor
B7 C
Oh, I was trying to get away from the things that I always do
B7 D
Hello, floorboards once again--how are you?
G C
Lip Service--well, that's all you'll ever get from me
D G D
Well, how could you believe I'll take you seriously?
G C
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
D G
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
G C
All the sign posts on this road that point one way
D G D
Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes
G C
I'll turn the light out now 'cause there's nothing more to say
D G
And it's all been lost before so there's nothing to lose
B7 C
Oh, but you could say that you love me very painlessly
B7 D
I would've done the same for you, but you said to me:
G C
Lip Service--well, that's all you'll ever get from me
D G D
Well, how could you believe I'll take you seriously?
G C
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage
D G
Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
D G
Oh just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage

lip service, well that's all you'll ever get from me.
D G D
how could you believe i'd take you seriously?
G C
with your cheap rewards, your blackmail and your comical rage,
D G
just remember that you'll only be the boss as long you pay my wage.
Well all the signposts on this road they all point one way,
don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes.
i'll turn the light out now 'cause there's nothing left to say,
and it's all been lost befor so there's nothing left to lose.
B C
oh but you could say that you loved me very painlessly
D G D
i would have done the same for you but you said to me.....
