Lo and behold, heard it on the radio

         E
It was a long time comin', but it sounds so sweet,

A
Come on, man, get off my back

E                             A
Saw it at the airport, it was on T.V

E                      A
Read it in a magazine, runnin' down the street

E                     A
Makes no sense, but I hope it's gonna last

    E                 A
The next big thing, I really gotta laugh

E                     A
Worked and slaved and played like hell

E                                   A
Everybody's goin' crazy, you're the last to know

E                         A
Can't explain it, still a joke to me

E                            A
Maybe I'm naive, 'cause it's so plain to see

E                                 A
It's right in front of your face, man

     E                            A
It's right in front of your face, man

E                 A
Played like hell, whoa!

E                 A
Played like hell, whoa!
