[Intro] | | | |

Well it's been half a year

Em Em Em

since my ball was properly stocked

A A6 A

And relations on whole

Dmaj

hasn't quite been "oh so clock!"

But though you're not the key

Em Em Em

To this Emotional lock

A A6 A

That still doesn't change

Dmaj

The value of your stocks

Em B7/D# G

Now I hear that people´s talking garbage about you

G F# Bm

And as goes with such things the most of it ain't true

Bm/F# G A F#m G

So I write this song just to say to you

A D

I believe in you, I do, Vendelay

Now the word is on the street

Em Em Em

that your ball gets properly stocked

A A6 A Dmaj

And by word you consider it being "Oh so clock!"

Well now I'm not your spokesman

Em Em Em

but still a man of words

A A6 A

And no matter how untrue

Dmaj

I know garbage always hurts

Em B7/D#

I don't know nowadays

what it takes to get bewitched

For a person like me

Who's just starving to get ditched

Bm/F# G A F#m G

Let's just hope that our ropes ain't so firmly fixed

And if you'd ask me I'd say:

- Nix, Vendelay

(same chords as in the verse)

Em B7/D#

I know that life is very bad

When you're picking up the pieces of what you had

And people say:

I want you, I want you, I want you!

Yeah, they want you all right

Bm/F#

- But just for a while

G A

But hang on in there

F#m G

And you'll pull it through

'Cause I believe in you, I do

And there's a reason why I do, Vendelay
