Cat a large light in the Am7sky

CIts spinning lights remiAm7nded me of yFou

FmAnd I thought your name should be dancing

Cbeamed Gfrom sC/Eatellites

DmLarger than any billboard in TGimes Square

Tell it to your Fheart, pleFase doGn't be C/Eafraid

I'm the one who lGoves you in each and eveFry way

Tell it to your Fheart, pleFase doGn't be afC/Eraid

New York City loDmvers G

CTell it to your heart, please don'Am7t be afraid

CTell it to your heartAm7

CI'm up on the roof, it'sAm7 5 a.m.

CI guess I couldn't sleepAm7

CAnd I see this spinning Am7light that I saw laFst week

FmMaybe I should wake you up but by thenC it mGight bC/Ee gone

DmYou never know what you see when you look up iGn the sky

CI ran outside down a darAm7kened street

Clistening to my boot heeAm7ls click

CMy leather jacket squeaAm7ked, I needed a cigaFrette

FmWhen I turned the corner my spinning lightC was iGn the C/Estreet

DmThey were filming a commercial onG TV

Tell it to your hFeart, pleaFse donG't be aC/Efraid

Sick Of You

Key: AEasy

Played on every A

AI was up in the morning with the TV blaring

ABrush my teeth, sittin' watchin' the news

AAll the beaches were closed, the ocean was a Red Sea

ABut there was no one there to part in two

DThere was no fresh salad because there's hypos in the cabbage

DStaten Island disappeared at noon

AThey say the midwest is in great distress

AAnd NASA blew up the moon

GThe ozone layer has no ozone anymore

And you're gonna Dleave me for the guy next door?

AI'm sick of you

AThey arrested the Mayor for an illegal favor

ASold the Empire State to Japan

AAnd Oliver North married William Secord

AAnd gave birth to a little Teheran

DAnd the Ayatollah bought a nuclear warship

DIf he dies he wants to go out in style

AAnd there's nothing to eat that don't carry the stink

AOf some human waste dumped in the Nile

GWell, one thing is certainly true

No one Dhere knows what to do

AAnd I'm sick of you

AI'm sick of you

AThe radio said there were 400 dead

AIn some small town in Arkansas

ASome whacked out trucker drove into a nuclear reactor

AAnd killed everybody he saw

DNow he's on Morton Downey and he's glowing and shiney

DDoctors say this is a medical advance

AThey say the bad makes the good and there's something to be learned

AIn every human experience

GWell I know one thing that really is true

This hereD's a zoo and the keeper ain't you

AAnd I'm sick of it

AI'm sick of you

AThey ordained the Trumps and then he got the mumps

AAnd died being treated at Mt. Sinal

AAnd my best friend Bill died from a poison pill

ASome wired doctor prescribed for stress

DMy arms and legs are shrunk the food all has lumps

DThey discovered some animal no one's ever seen

AIt was an inside trader eating a rubber tire

AAfter running over Rudy Giuliani

GThey say the President's dead but no one can find his head

It's beeDn missing now for weeks

ABut no one noticed it he had seemed so fit

AAnd I'm Sick of it

AI'm sick of you

AI'm so sick of you
