* - Strum only once
[INTRO]
 C#m
[VERSE]
I C#mtake too long to answer telephones
I take toF#mo long to type my name and record messages
But my handwAriting is excellD#ent
In fact it's sG#econd to C#mnone, none
I C#mjust got in from somewhere really good
They offered F#mme the part of Bono and a speaking role
With all the Amerchandice and suD#nglasses
I G#could ever nC#meed, need
I C#mdrive round cities in a chariot
I get F#mpreferential treatment at the Marriot
But if the Atruth be told I'm D#naked under aG#ll these clAothes
[CHORUS]
I tell you wEhat it is on my mBind, oF#hhh
I oAnly want to be in your rEecord collection Bohh, oF#hhh
I oAnly want to be in your rEecord collection Bohh, oF#hhh
     A*                   D#*          G#*
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
[VERSE]
My C#mbrain is buzzing and the room is strange
Like that sF#mcene in trading places at the stock exchange
I made a miAllion over night in 'D#87
Now I'm liG#ving in my paC#mrking space, parking space
My C#mteeth are bright and my hair is clean
I wear PF#maco Rabanne like I was Charlie Sheen
But in the rAain we all look D#wet and in the sG#now we all looAk cold
[CHORUS]
I tell you wEhat it is on my mBind, oF#hhh
I oAnly want to be in your rEecord collection Bohh, oF#hhh
I oAnly want to be in your rEecord collection Bohh, oF#hhh
     A*                   D#*          G#*
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
C#m
[VERSE]
     C#m*
I'm not as clever as I thought I was
        F#m*
It got pointed out to me as I was tying the knot
            A*             D#*       G#*    C#m  
And all I want to know is how I got so far down, down
I'm C#mnot as lucky as I thought I was
My luck ran F#mout the other day as I was crossing the road
Who would have thAought a truck like tD#hat
Could have cG#aused so much hAarm?
[CHORUS]
I tell you wEhat it is on my mBind, oF#hhh
I oAnly want to be in your rEecord collection Bohh, oF#hhh
I oAnly want to be in your rEecord collection Bohh, oF#hhh
