You can pretend I'm an old millionaire

A millionaire washing his hands

D            C D             C

A medical chart on the wall

Everyone wants to explode

Don't have a window to slip out of

Am         C    Am
Lights on, nobody home

Am          C Am      C
Click click, see you later

Am          C Am      C
Beta beta, no time to rest
