Capo on 1st fret
Intro: A G D A
verse 1
A G
I survived the dinner and the air went thinner
D A
I retired to the briars by the pool, it gets so loud
A G
If I die this instant, taken from a distance
D A
They would probably list it down, among other things 'round town
G D A
Got my rings around me, I got baby to pound me
A
I see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down
G D A
In the skies over black Venice, I see eyes of a white menace
A
The surprise of the week, is that I never heard the sound
verse 2: use verse 1 chords
All the L.A. women, fall asleep while swimmin'
I got paid to fish 'em out and then one day I lost the job
And I cried a little, I got fried a little
Then she laid her eyes on mine, and she said, 'Babe, you're better off'
Chorus 2: use Chorus 1 chords
I got my rings around me, I got baby to pound me
I see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down
In the skies over black Venice, I see eyes of a white menace
The surprise of the week, is that I never heard the sound

Tunnel vision lights my way
Am G D A
Lead a little life today
Bridge 2:
A G D A
As the free-fall advances, I'm the moron who dances, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
A G D A
I was teething on roses, I was in guns and noses, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Am G A
Under the withering white skies of humiliation
Am G A
Under the withering white skies of humiliation

Tunnel vision lights my way
Lead a little life today
Tunnel vision lights my way
Lead a little life today
