A Dm        A     
I said forever
               Dm                      C                 F
But it doesn't look like I'm gonna be around much anymore
D                  G
When the heat gets so tropical
Bm               Em
And the talk gets  so topical
D D/C Bm7 (can use B5) Riot act - you can read me the riot act Bbmaj7 Em7 You can make me a matter of fact A Or a villain in a million Em7 A A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian
C#m C Bm Why do you talk such stupid nonsense Bb A When my mind could rest much easier C#m C Bm Instead of all this dumb dumb insolence Bb A I would be happier with amnesia A Dm A They say forget her Dm c F Now it looks like you're either gonna be before me or against me A Dm A I got your letter Dm C F Now they say I don't care for the color that it paints me D G Trying to be so bad is bad enough Bm Em Don't make me laugh by talking tough D G Don't put your heart out on your sleeve Em When your remarks are off the cuf Chorus . . . . . .
