This is how he played it on The Colbert Report, I think, minus the live innuendos

e|-------| B|-------| G|-------| D|-------| A|-0-1-2-| E|-------| G C Oh, well, I feel so loose tonight I might fall to pieces D G D So be prepared to sweep me out the door G C And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases D G So I think I'll get acquainted with the floor B7 C Oh, I was trying to get away from the things that I always do A7 D Hello, floorboards once again--how are you? G C Lip Service--well, that's all you'll ever get from me D G D Well, how could you believe I'll take you seriously? G C With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage D G Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage G C All the sign posts on this road that point one way D G D Don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes G C I'll turn the light out now 'cause there's nothing more to say D G And it's all been lost before so there's nothing to lose B7 C Oh, but you could say that you love me very painlessly A7 D I would've done the same for you, but you said to me: G C Lip Service--well, that's all you'll ever get from me D G D Well, how could you believe I'll take you seriously? G C With your cheap rewards, your blackmail, and your comical rage D G Just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage D G Oh just remember you'll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
