But First

Em                                  C
You say you want a lover -
        Am                                 D
the best that the World has to offer.
G                  C/g Dsus D
Well, I can teach you how to find her.

But first: A word from my sponsor
G               C      G… run… D7 B7

You say you have a desire today
To be all you can be
“I’ll set the World on fire” you say
But first: another coffee

You say you can survive
Well done! Now, listen to me
I can teach you how to thrive
But first, I gotta pee

E                       D              G Em
We could be amazing if we just had the time
        C              Am D9 D
But only after coffee, peeing and shopping on line
G               C                D   Dsus

You like watching TV all night
You hope you get inspired
You’ll get things done tomorrow alright.
But first, a nap

There should be more to this
Perhaps another verse
Something about a promise or a wish
But first… pass the potatoes
