    Cm                D#       A#                 D#
Somebody brought the juicer I thought I'd take a sip
     Gm                        G#            D#
Came off the rails so crazy my senses took a dip
  Cm              D#                A#
Before the bottle hit the floor and I'd had
         D#
time to think
       Gm                   G#               C
I was blinded by desire the elephant turned pink

Chorus:
        Fm              D#         G#
And the rest is simply shady, it's all been done
  D#
before
        Fm               D#               G Cm
But it doesn't make life easy that's for sure
         Fm            D#              G#
You may think about a lady, cause yourself
        D#
a minor war
          Fm               D#      G
And your life won't be so easy anymore

No sooner had I sown it
When I began to reap
I was torn from shallow water
And plunged into the deep
And as I started drowning
I clung onto a straw
That somehow kept me floating
While my madness craved for more

Chorus:
Now the rest is simply shady
It's all been done and more
But it doesn't make life simple
That's for sure
You may think about a lady
Let her in through your front door
But your life won't be so easy anymore

A pebble in the ocean
Must've caused some kind of stir
And witnessed by the silence
Will reach from here to there
The action that I've started
Sometime I'll have to face
My influence in motion
Rebounding back through space

Chorus:
Now the rest is simply shady
It's all been done before
But it doesn't make life easy
That's for sure
You may think you're Sexy Sadie
Let her in through your front door
But your life won't be so easy anymore
Cause yourself a minor war
But your life won't be so easy anymore
You may think you're Sexy Sadie
Let her in through your front door
But your life won't be so easy anymore
