[Verse]
G          C            G        C 
I'm quite contented to take my chances  
[ G G  C C   G G  C C ] 
  
G           C               G    C 
Against the Guildensterns & Rosenkrantzes  
[ G G  C C   G G  C C ] 
  
G       C         G      C 
It's a matter of Cain & Abel  
[ G G  C C   G G  C C ] 
  
    G               C          G         C 
And I can feel your knee underneath the table  
[ G G  C C   G G  C C ]

Bb                        A 
He doesn't dangle by the seraphim 
Bb                       A 
He only wants a pretty face by him so 
Bb                               A        C         G 
How could you want him when you know you could have me?

See the pigeons peck & peck to pay their dues
[ G G  C C   G G  C C ] 

            G             C           G          C 
But they'll peck a little extra to resole their shoes
[ G G  C C   G G  C C ]  
 
G             C        G        C 
He's with the pigeons pecking crumbs
[ G G  C C   G G  C C ] 
  
G          C         G                   C 
I'm on my deathbed bleeding with the cherubim  
[ G G  C C   G G  C C ]
[Chorus]
Bb                        A 
He doesn't dangle by the seraphim 
Bb                       A 
He only wants a pretty face by him so 
Bb                               A     C         G 
How could you want him when you know you could have me?

[Bridge]
D                         C 
Ferocious angels send me falling stars 
    D                C 
But I know just how dangerous wishes are 
D                          C 
Ferocious angels watch me come and go 
D                           F            C           G        D 
But I'm not too smart to go barging off roof tops, though...  no

           G            C           G         C 
'Cause you can't drink wine from a two dollar bill  
[ G G  C C   G G  C C ] 
  
      G           C            G        C 
Saint Christopher lives on the end of a quill  
[ G G  C C   G G  C C ]

Leave him a d-i-i-iamond in your la-a-ast will  
[ G G  C C ]

He only wants a pretty face by him so 
Bb                               A        C         G 
How could you want him when you know you could have me?
