Verse 1:
Am                      F
The cats are all crazy, Mona Lisa
Am               F
They try to say my future is stone
Am               F
They say they make all the right calls
             C                          G
To all the right numbers that the fat cats know

Verse 2:
Am                              F
But these wheels were made for burning
Am                       F
And these wings weren't meant to last
Am                             F
In the end it's all fireworks and smoke rings
 C                       G
A treacherous road baby, try not to crash

I just want to sing motown, soul
F                            C           G
And buy my baby something nice to take home
Am            G                             F
And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe
C               G
I just wanna dance...
Am            G               F
And I wanna dance with the poor girls in Europe
C              G
I just wanna dance

Am                     F
After all it's just a crazy dream baby
Am                         F
All these good cards burn up in a flash
Am                        F
My, my it's getting late Cinderella
    C                                 G
Not long before these dresses turn right back to rags

Am                        F
And don't forget about my homeboy

We almost died at them gates
Am                                       F
Thank the good Lord for sending his angels...
C                              G
In a '49 Mercury for a lightning fast getaways
