Dm                             Gm
Man, you got a lot of jokes to tell
          F                                C
So you throw your baby's pennies down the well
Dm                           Gm
Give a little more than you like
Dm                                    Gm
Pick apart the past, you're not going back

A                    A#
Don't you waste your time, no-oh
Dm
oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh,

Chorus:
Dm  Gm  Cm A#
Gi-la-a a-a a - x3

Sure, you've got a handle on the past
It's why you keep your little lovers in your lap
You give a little more
Than you like
Pick apart the past
You're not going back

Don't you waste your time
No, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Chorus

Dm      A       A#        C    Dm
Hoping for the last ship to arrive
       A             A#       C
I am blessed with a kingdom, half mine.

Chorus:
Gila-a
Gila-a-a-a-a
Gila-a
Gila-a-a-a-a
Gila-a-a-a-a
Gila-a-a-a-a
