* - Strum only once [INTRO] C#m [VERSE]
 C#m
I take too long to answer telephones

         F#m
I take too long to type my name and record messages

            A               D#
But my handwriting is excellent

              G#       C#m
In fact it's second to none, none

 C#m
I just got in from somewhere really good

            F#m
They offered me the part of Bono and a speaking role

             A                 D#
With all the merchandice and sunglasses

  G#          C#m
I could ever need, need

 C#m
I drive round cities in a chariot

      F#m
I get preferential treatment at the Marriot

           A                 D#           G#         A
But if the truth be told I'm naked under all these clothes
[CHORUS]
            E                B     F#
I tell you what it is on my mind, ohhh

   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh

   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh

    A *                  D# *         G# *
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
[VERSE]
  C#m
My brain is buzzing and the room is strange

           F#m 
Like that scene in trading places at the stock exchange

           A                    D#
I made a million over night in '87

          G#           C#m
Now I'm living in my parking space, parking space

  C#m
My teeth are bright and my hair is clean

        F#m
I wear Paco Rabanne like I was Charlie Sheen

            A               D#              G#            A
But in the rain we all look wet and in the snow we all look cold
[CHORUS]
            E                B     F#
I tell you what it is on my mind, ohhh

   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh

   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh

    A *                  D# *         G# *
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
C#m [VERSE]
    C#m *
I'm not as clever as I thought I was

       F#m *
It got pointed out to me as I was tying the knot

           A *            D# *      G# *    C#m
And all I want to know is how I got so far down, down

    C#m
I'm not as lucky as I thought I was

            F#m
My luck ran out the other day as I was crossing the road

                 A                   D#
Who would have thought a truck like that

            G#             A
Could have caused so much harm?
[CHORUS]
            E                B     F#
I tell you what it is on my mind, ohhh

   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh

   A                       E                B     F#
I only want to be in your record collection ohh, ohhh

    A *                   D# *          G# *
And I'll do anything it takes just to get there
C#m
