If I pay you five dollars will you try to make my bed?

If I pay you ten would you make me well instead?

I love your baby, baby harmonies,

You really brighten up my basement suite, suite.

[Verse 1]
Am Asus4
We should go down to the mall,
C Fmaj7
Look at people, judge them all,
Am Asus4 Dsus2 C
Judge them before they judge us and leave there feeling bad.
[Verse 2]
Am Asus4
We should sit and pick our hands,
C Fmaj7
I think you're a genius,
Am Asus4
And when you make your hangnails bleed,
Dsus2 C
You deserve a PhD.
[Chorus]
Am Asus4 C Cadd9

If I pay you ten would you make me well instead?

You really brighten up my basement suite, suite.
[Verse 3]
Am Asus4
We should put that record on,
C Fmaj7
The one you found when you were gone,
Am Asus4
The one that has those sad, sad songs,
Dsus2 C
And makes you sing out loud.
[Verse 3]
Am Asus4
We could start a basement band,
C Fmaj7
Guitar hooks caught in your hands,
Am Asus4
Will travel through the west side nights,
Dsus2 C
And drown out humming street lights.
