The strumming is done differently in the verse and in the chorus for the Dm C Dm parts. In the verse, the Dm is played on beats 1, C is played on beat 2 and Dm again on 3 and then a rest on 4. In the chorus, the Dm is played on beats 1, 2 & 3 and the C is played on 4. Verse:
Dm C Dm       Dm  C        Dm        Dm  C        Dm             Dm C Bb A 
I . . . Who took the money?    Who took the money away?

Dm C Dm       Dm   C      Dm         Dm   C      Dm                  Dm C Bb A 
I . . . It's always showtime   Here at the edge of the stage

Dm  C   Dm    Dm  C       Dm          Dm   C      Dm     Dm       C Bb   A 
O - U - T     But no hard feelings    What do you know?  Take you a-way

Dm  C   Dm  Dm  C Dm    Dm  C Dm   Dm C Bb A 
We're being taken for a ride       again
Chorus:
Dm          C             Dm              C      
I got a girlfriend that's better than that 

Dm                   C        Dm   C Bb A 
She has the smoke in her eyes

Dm               C     Dm                    C   
She's moving up, going right through my house    

Dm                  C        Dm C Bb A 
She's gonna give me surprise

Dm                C    Dm                    C 
Better than this,       know that It's right   

Dm                 C        Dm C Bb A 
I think you can if you like

Dm          C           Dm               C          
I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair        

    Dm                C         Dm C Bb A 
And nothing is better than that         is it?
Verse: Down, down in the basement we hear the sound of machines I, I, I'm driving in circles come to my senses sometime Why, why, why, why start it over? Nothing was lost, everything's free I don't care how impossible it seems Chorus: Somebody calls you but you cannot hear get closer to be far away Only one look and that's all that it takes maybe that's all that we need All that it takes, I'll bet it's right, all it takes if it's right I got a girlfriend that's better than that and she goes wherever she likes there she goes Chorus: I got a girlfriend that's better than that now everyone's getting involved She's moving up going right through my heart we might not ever get caught Going right through try to stay cool going through, staying cool I got a girlfriend that's better than that and nothing is better than you, wait a minute Chorus: I got a girlfriend thats better that this but you don't remember at all As we get older and stop making sense you won't find her waiting long Stop making sense, stop making sense stop making sense, making sense I got a girlfriend she's better than that and nothing is better than this, is it? Repeat main riff about 6 times & fade out. Enjoy!
