 Chorus 1:

         Bb
         Smiling phases, showing traces
         Eb 
         Even when they bust you
                                       Bb
         Keep on smiling through and through
                     Eb           Db            Cb
         You'll be amazed at the gaze on their faces
            Abm            Bb
         As they sentence you

 [repeat intro]

 Verse 2:

         You don't need a lawyer
         When you're in a fix
         Someone gets the payoff
         You're friends are full of tricks
         Happiness is something
         That you just can't find
         Own up to the truth girl
         You're living with your mind

 Chorus 2:

         Sugar daddy brings you flowers
         You just hang him up and
         Keep him waiting there for hours
         And you should see the look on his face 
         As you slide down the rail

 Coda:

         Bb       C        Eb       F
         / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

         / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

         (jam on C to fade)
