[Intro] A  G  D  A
 
[Primera Parte]

A                      G
  I survived the dinner  and the air went thinner
D                  A
  I retired to the briars by the pool, it gets so loud
A                       G
  If I die this instant,   taken from a distance
D                              A
  They would probably list it down, among other things 'round town

Em              D                             A
  Got my rings around me, I got baby to pound me
A
  I see stars and go weak, my baby cries and lays me down
Em                        D                             A
  In the skies over black Venice, I see eyes of a white menace
A
  The surprise of the week, is that I never heard the sound

All the L.A. women, fall asleep while swimmin'

I got paid to fish 'em out and then one day I lost the job
                                    
And I cried a little, I got fried a little

Then she laid her eyes on mine, and she said 

"Babe, you're better off"
 
[Estribillo]


I got my rings around me

I got baby to pound me

I see stars and go weak 

My baby cries and lays me down

In the skies over black Venice

I see eyes of a white menace

The surprise of the week, is that 

I never heard the sound

  Tunnel vision lights my way
Am       G      D      A
  Lead a little life today

As the free-fall advances, I'm the moron who dances, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
A                 G                        D                     A
I was teething on roses, I was in guns and noses, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
          Em                    D        A
Under the withering white skies of humiliation
          Em                    D        A
Under the withering white skies of humiliation
 
Am     G      D         A
Tunnel vision lights my way
Am     G      D      A
Lead a little life today
Am     G      D         A
Tunnel vision lights my way
Am     G      D      A
Lead a little life today
