[Intro]

Basic finger picking of the above 
chord shapes, listen to song to get 
the idea

[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2

This picking pattern more or less 
continues throughout the song, I've 
just listed the major chord changes

[Verse 1]
           G
I need to find somebody who can tear
 me away
         Em
From the car crying babies and 
switchblade days
     G
The bark of the unemployment hounds
        Em
And the thought of the thick, white 
skull on the ground
        C*
I won't die in the bony arms of the 
state
      Em
To be laid to rest in the wake of 
the faded town

[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
[In the acoustic live versions, 
Scott throws in a couple of fills 
when picking the G chord]


[Verse 2]
           G
And if the raincoats come to steal 
my home
          Em
There's a big white house at the end
 of the road
      G
I can see you wrapped in Egyptian 
thread
Continúa después del anuncio
     Em
In a marble garden, immune to the 
mess
       C*
If you leave this world in a 
rhinestone shroud
         Em
We could finally make your father 
proud


[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2


[Pre-Chorus]
      C*
If I leave this world in a loaded 
daze
      Em                      C*
I can finally have and eat my cake


[Chorus]
          G
I want to die like a rich boy diving
     Bm
In a hydro-codone dream
        C*
You can die like a rich girl by me
           D            C
Oh how the magazines will grieve
     G
I'll die like a rich boy bathing
     Bm
In a milk bath I could drown
        C*
Want to die like a rich boy
                 D            C
Even if we're as poor as we are now
          G
I want to die like a rich boy 
drowning
     Bm
In a lake that bears my name
        C*
You can die like a rich girl by me
            D          C
Flushed and radiant with fame
        G
I wanna lie in a state on the TV
     Bm
In a golden cardboard crown
        C*
Want to die like a rich boy
                 D            C
Even if we're as poor as we are now


[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2


[Verse 3/Outro]

       G
Well I found you now so tear me away
         Em
From the feral street they lumped us
 in
G
I'll be Shakespeare's moon-struck 
king
       Em
We can lose our minds at the top of 
the hill
        C*
We burn cash and carry a decadent 
flame
    Em                            
Way into the night and beyond the 
G
grave


[G - G* - Em - Em* - G]
