Here are the actual chords to the song.
Verse 1
the volunteers were tired, heads were hanging low
the news had spoiled their appettite, for stuffing envelopes
twelve points was an awful lot to be down in the polls
with only two weeks to go
Verse 2
shouldering the phone, loosening his tie
his running mate on pricks and pins, hovering beside
the candidate wrote furiously as if to save his life
then hung up the phone and spoke with great conviction
Chorus
when you're nothing but a boyfriend dangling by a thread
keep in mind the bottom line diamonds are a girls's best friend
input chords from verse 2
inches from the goal
one thing on his mind
to get behind her desk and make
some big decisions
power can be such a tease
you're always wantingmore
it's good to know that just like sex it can be paid for
Chorus
Ends with same verse chords
