[Verse 1]
          A
There's a smart young woman, on a light blue screen,

                              D
That comes into my room every night,

        A7            A6           A          Asus4
And she takes all her red, yellow, orange and green,

A7*         A7sus4     A    Asus4         D
    And she turns them into black and  ...white
[Chorus]
        A/E            D/F#
But you tease, and you flirt,

        G             D/F#       A/E        D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,

        G
You can please yourself,

D                        A *
But somebody's gonna get it!
[Link]
       G               D          A *
Better cut off all i - dentifying labels,

     G                 D              E
Be - fore they put you on the torture table
[Verse 2]
        A
'Cause, somewhere in the Quisling Clinic,

          A
There's a short-hand typist...

                                D
...Taking seconds over minutes,

      A7        A6       A     Asus4
She's listening into the Venus line,

      A7 *        A7sus4
She's picking out names,

       A       Asus4            D
I hope none of them are mine
[Chorus]
        A/E            D/F#
But you tease, and you flirt,

        G             D/F#       A/E        D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,

        G
You can please yourself,

D                        A *
But somebody's gonna get it!
[Bridge]
G                      D
    Never said I was a stool- pigeon,

G                      D
    Never said I was a diplomat,

G                D
    Everybody is under suspicion,

    A                            D
But you don't want to hear about that
[Chorus]
        A/E            D/F#
But you tease, and you flirt,

        G             D/F#       A/E        D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,

        G
You can please yourself,

D                        A *
But somebody's gonna get it!

       G              D
Better send a begging letter...

       A             D
To the big investi - gation,

G                 D                A          D
    Who put these finger prints on my imagi - nation?
[Chorus]
    A/E            D/F#
You tease, and you flirt,

        G             D/F#       A/E        D
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt,

        G
You can please yourself,

     D                        A/C# A
But somebody's gonna get it!
[Coda]
        G
You can please yourself,

     D                        A/C# A
But somebody's gonna get it!

       G
You can please yourself,

     D                         A/C# A
But somebody's gonna get it!

The remaining chord boxes can be the default first option and don't need any reselecting. As long as you are logged into your account, these choices will be saved automatically for every time you view this tab A7 A6 Asus4 <3 of 39> <2 of 44> <2 of 21> D/F# G A/C# <7 of 20> <2 of 27> <7 of 20> Currently only one diagram per chord can be saved so you will have to choose which version of A and A7 you want to display.
