[Verse 1]

F#5       G#5             C5   D5
 I am the message centre
F#5    G#5         C5    D5
 Local and direct
F#5               G#5       C5                            D5
 Room to room, an operator (no calls today, dear, they'll just have to wait, dear)
F#5         G#5           C5                       D5
 I call and I collect (so just strike him softly, away from the bodyyy)

[Chorus]

Am                  C               G       Bb
 You're made up too shiny today (in so much trouble)
Am                      C                G       Bb
 Your thoughts are just pissing away (in so much trouble)
C        Eb
 So much trouble

[Verse 2]

F#5     G#5      C5   D5
 I am a manager
F#5       G#5         C5   D5
 And I am in control
F#5           G#5        C5                            D5
 As the local delegator (no calls today, dear, they'll just have to wait, dear)
F#5               G#5            C5                     D5
 I offer no guarantee at all (so don't take it lightly, you'll put yourself undeeer)

[Chorus]

Am                  C               G       Bb
 You're made up too shiny today (in so much trouble)
Am                      C                G       Bb
 Your thoughts are just pissing away (in so much trouble)
Am                 C           G       Bb
 A new typeface, a new day (in so much trouble)
Am                      C               G       Bb
 You can't remember ten minutes ago (in so much trouble)
C         Eb
 Too much trouble
