Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G D C D (4x) G
[Verse 1]
D C D G
I am extraordinarily good
D C D G
At sleeping the day away
D C D G
I thought with my experience
D C D G
I'd put it on my résumé
D C D G
So here I am, unemployed again
D C
As broke as I can be
[Pre-Chorus]
A
But all I need is this old guitar
C
An open case and a crowded street
[Chorus]
G D F C
I've got the world on a shoestring
G D F C G
I've got the world on a shoestring
[Verse 2]
D C D G
My head's as full as a Ryder truck
D C D G
Double-parked down the street
D C D G
All the ideas I've packed away
D C D G
Stack up so nice and neat
D C D
But I didn't mark the boxes
G D C
So I don't know where anything is
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Paper bags of random facts
C
Taped-up dates and laundry lists
[Chorus]
G D F C
I've got the world on a shoestring
G D F C G
I've got the world on a shoestring
[Bridge]
G D
If you ain't got money
C D
That's all right, honey
G D C
'Cause I ain't got none too
G D
We can be star-crossed
C D
And get ourselves lost
C D
Down Fifth Avenue
[Interlude]
G D C D
Ohhh
G D C D
Ohhh
G D C D
G D C D G
[Verse 3]
D C D G
You look so good in your brand-new dress
D C D G
But you look good all the time
D C D G
I love the little pictures that you draw
D C D G
And leave for me to find
D C D
And if I had a big apartment
G D C
I'd frame them on the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
A
But what do I need with lots of space?
C
I've got rent control and you to call
[Chorus]
G D F C
I've got the world on a shoestring
G D F C G
I've got the world on a shoestring
[Chorus]
G D F C
I've got the world on a shoestring
G D F C
I've got the world on a shoestring
G D F C
I've got the world on a shoestring, Ba da da da
G D N.C.
I've got the world on a shoestring
