You Got The World (right Where You Want It) Lyrics

Intro C Cadd9

 

C                Cadd9       C          Dm7

As you wash your hair and bathe in Perrier 

       Am                      Dm

As you hit the bank machine at night

           Am                   Dm

Drinking money for tomorrow's flight

C                 Cadd9    C              Dm7

As you count your loss or bet on a black horse

        Am                      Dm

Sit behind the wheel of a black Porsche 

        Am                   Dm              Dm7    

Use your leather organiser with your name embossed 

        Dm               Dm7       Dm          Dm7    Am

The night is thick with frost It chills your heart

 

CHORUS  Cycle on Am Dm Dm7 Dm 

 

You got the world Right where you want it 

Where do you want Where do you want the world? 

You got the girl Right where you want her 

But where do you want  Where do you want the girl?

 

I pulled up at your door And turned the key once more 

Took a calculator from my pocket 

Checked a picture of us in a locket 

I knew you were not in  An alarm began to ring 

Punched a number on a cordless phone 

Made an offer on a Dockland's condominium home 

Somewhere with no soul  That won't remind me

 

CHORUS  instrumental verse  REPEAT CHORUS (long instrumental noodle)
