Verse 1:

       	                             	                
And you     were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery

                              
Well the good things are never free

                                         
Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?


Verse 2:

      	                                       
And I     was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe

                            
Wipe the slime from off your sleeve

                                           
You could follow me for weeks and I'm not going  anywhere


Break 1:

                            
   Sometimes it's hard to love someone

                        
   Until the day that they are gone

Verse 3:

      	                     	                    
And I    just had a dream the other night I was married to the Queen

                                                    
And Madonna lived next door,  I think she took a shine to me

                                                
And the kids were all grown up, but I had to turn her down

                        
Cause I was still in love with you


Chorus:

          /riff
I'm turning Madonna down

            /riff
I'm calling it my  best    move

                    /riff   
I'll get a ticket to what you need


Break 2:

Verse 4:

                                          
I     remember doing nothing on the night sinatra died

                              
And the night Geoff   Buckley  died

                            
And the night Kurt    Cobain died

                            
And the night John    Lennon died

My suggestions for extendeding the verse (as seen on BBC TV Top of The Pops):

John Bonham
Frank Zappa
Jimi Hendrix
Duane Allman
George Harrison
Marvin Gaye
Bob Marley
Elvis Presley


                                           
I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone


Chorus:

            /riff
And that was a lot of nights

            /riff
And that was a lot of      lads

                     /riff
Who lost a ticket to what they need

Verse 5:

                                                           
And I     was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life,

                        
Always hoped you'd be my wife,

                                          
But I never found the time for the question to arrive,

                    (V) 
I just disguised it in a song


Verse 6:

                            
And songs    are never quite the answer

                                               
Just a soundtrack to a life, that is over all too soon

                        
Helps to turn the days to night

                        
While I was wrong and you were right


Chorus:

            /riff
And this was a lesson learned,

         /riff
I'm happy to be your    fool,

                      /riff
And get you tickets to what you need


Verse 7:  (Whistled)

                    

      


Chorus:

                  /riff
I'm turning the lights down low

           /riff
I'm ready to make my move

                           
I'll get you tickets to what you neeeee-eeeed
