The Bidding

          Am            Dm6     
I've been sleeping in a cardboard 
   C     E
box
               Am            Dm6  
spending every dollar at the 
     C     E
liquor shop
                  Am             C
and even though I know I haven't 
       F
got a lot
     Dm              E            
I'll try to give you loving till 
   E/G#    Am
the day you drop

          Am              Dm6      
I've been training like a Pavlov 
C      E
dog
            Am              Dm6   
sent my independence out to take a
    C     E
 hike
              Am         C         
all you gotta do is activate my 
F     Dm
bell
         E            E/G#         
and I'll fetch you anything you 
Am
like

[Chorus]
         D           C
Going once, going twice
        F               G
Every man here has a price
        D          C
Over here, over there
        F            G      E
Sold to not a single lady in here

[Verse]
     Am               Dm          C
I've been here like a thousand times
Continues after the ad
G          Am            Dm      
Dated every woman in the 
 C     E
atmosphere
     Am            Dm6      C     E
I've been to every continent
               Am             
Broken all the hearts in every 
 Dm6     C
hemisphere
           E               Am     
And if I'm not the type of guy you
         C       F
 like to circumvent
         Dm          E            
Just remember not to love me when 
  E/G# Am
I disappear

  Am        Dm       C
I graduated at the top
  E               Am            
I like to take advantage of the 
Dm       C
bourgeoisie
   E             Am         C    
So if you have a fantasy of being
   F
 a queen
Dm               E               
Maybe you should blow a couple 
       Am
bucks on me

[Chorus]
         D           C
Going once, going twice
            F             G
Won't these gentlemen suffice?
       D         C
Any here, any there
      A#         A
Any motions anywhere

      D            C
Going twice, going thrice
           F                G     
Guess this means we'll go 4 times 
    E
a lady

[Bridge]
A                            D   
I promise I'll be all you need, 
       A
ever need
       Bm                   E
You'll never have to shop around 
(don't shop around)
    A                            D
And I'll give you all you ever 
        F#
need, ever need
      Bm               E          
Don't worry, I will never let you 
  A             F#
down, let you down
      Bm               E          
Don't worry, I will never let you 
  A
down

[Other]
D                  C
So many ladies are wanting for mates
            F                      
And the prospects are good but the 
G
date's never great
         D                  C
Over here, over there, over where, 
anywhere
            F
They're too busy with winning
G
The bidding to care and he's
D
Sold
