Artist: They Might Be Giants Song: Hey Mr. DJ, I thought you said we had a deal Album: Miscellaneous T [Intro] A E D (x2) [Verse 1]
          A             E             D
I could never sleep my way to the top

            A                  E               D
'Cause my alarm clock always wakes me right up

                A                E           D
And since my options had been whittled away

              B                   E
I struck a bargain with my radio DJ

             A                E            D
I said I'd like this song to be number one

                      A             E               D
He said "I'd really really like to help you my son"

             A                E                D
And then I knew that I would have him to thank

             B                              E
Because he asked me how much I had in the bank
[Pre-Chorus]
             A         E       D
He said to think long term investment and

               F#m         F+        D/E
That all the others had forgiven themselves

             A    E             D
He said the net reward would justify

       F#m               F+            D/E
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives
[Verse 2]
          A             E             D
He said the record wouldn't have to be hot

          A             E             D
And no one ever seemed to care if it's not

          A             E             D
It would depend on something else that I've got

              B                           E
And that the other ones who'd given it a shot
[Pre-Chorus]
          A         E        D
Had seen a modest sum grow geometrically

         F#m         F+        D/E
And then they had forgiven themselves

          A         E        D
Because the net reward had justified

       F#m               F+            D/E
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives
[Chorus]
 A       E  F#             E       D     E
Hey Mr. DJ, I thought you said we had a deal

    A      E          D               F#      E                  F#
I thought you said, "You scratch my back and I'll scratch your record"

         D                 E     A
And I thought you said we had a deal
[Verse 3]
          A             E             D
Well, I told you about the world (its address)

          A             E             D
I wonder when they're gonna clean up the mess

              A            E             D
You know the rabid child is still tuning in

              B                           E
Chess piece face's patience must be wearing thin

          A             E             D
Because they haven't played this song on the air

          A             E             D
Not that anyone but me even cared

          A             E             D
And the Disk Jockey has moved out of town

              B                           E
The district courthouse says he's nowhere to be found
[Pre-Chorus]
          A         E        D
Had seen a modest sum grow geometrically

         F#m         F+        D/E
And then they had forgiven themselves

          A         E        D
Because the net reward had justified

       F#m               F+            D/E
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives
[Chorus]
 A       E  F#             E       D     E
Hey Mr. DJ, I thought you said we had a deal

    A      E          D               F#      E                  F#
I thought you said, "You scratch my back and I'll scratch your record"

         D                 E     A
And I thought you said we had a deal
[Outro]
A  E  D
(Over and over)
