Cm                      F
  What do you want from life?
   Ab                   G
To kidnap an heiress or threaten her with a knife?
Cm                      F
  What do you want from life?
    Ab                G
 To get cable TV  and watch it every night?

[chorus]

C
There you sit, a  lump in your chair
F                      G#                           G
Where do you sleep and what do you wear when you're sleeping

[verse]

Cm                      F
  What do you want from life?
   Ab             G
An Indian guru to show you the inner light?
Cm                      F
  What do you want from life?
  Ab                             G                   Ab A Bb
A meaningless love affair with a girl that you met tonight?

[bridge]

Bb                           F
How can you tell when you're doin' alright?
          C                               G              Ab A Bb
Does your bank account swell while you're dreaming at night?
Bb                          F
How do you know when you're really in love?
   C                        G                            Ab
Do violins play when you're touching the one that you're loving?
A               Ab
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
