Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

[Pre-Chorus]
E                                         G     D
Don't wanna be in your club if you take me as a member
        E                           G           D
I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remembered
      A                             E
I say ashes to ashes, dust to dust
E                          G        D
Give me a tombstone if you feel you must
Sayin'

[Chorus]
Bm                    C     B    Bm
Here lies a clown who wrote some songs
N.C.
He talked too much and stayed too long

[Verse]
             Em                           G      E
Back home in Perth I played piano down at Cafe Piata
Em                                   G                E
Swallowin' second and smokin, singin standards by the masters
            A
Learnt that every lyric's sacred, that love's everything
         Em                                       G             E
And that three drinks makes you straighten up but four gets you swingin'
        B                                 C             G
Till my crowd scared the suits away and I played my own songs
        Em
Then we talked too much and stayed too long
D                    B
(Talked too much and stayed too long)

[Verse]
         E                              G
Moved to Melbourne with my missus after locking her down
            E                      G
Felt like a very little fishy in a very big town
D      A
Barely scrapin' by on corporate gigs and quaint cabaret
        E                               G            E
Playin' keyboards in a cover band until three in the am
      B                           C         B
I was never really suited to them top forty songs
N.C.
Coz I talked too much and played too long


[Pre-Chorus]
E                                         G     D
Don't wanna be in your club if you take me as a member
        E                           G           D
I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remembered
      A               Am
I say ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Em                          E   G   E
Give me a tombstone if you feel you must
Sayin'

[Chorus]
Bm                    C          B7
Here lies a clown who wrote some songs
   Em                  E5
He talked too much and stayed too long

[Verse]
        Fm
Took my eyeliner to Edinburgh in twenty-o-five
Fm
Played to forty five payin' punters on that opening night
F         Bbm
But to my surprise there was a risin' demand
      Fm
For a long shot of Liberacian Edward Scissorhands
C7        Cm7
Dude from the paper said that diggin' me was wrong
N.C.
He said I talked too much and stayed too long

[Verse]
             Fm
I played the Albert Hall and Wembley, I played basements and bars
                                               F
I've been to Hollywood and Broadway, met those A-lister stars
            Bb
I've shared cigarettes with Knights, shot Tequila with dames
               Fm
Found I'm more interested in laughter than in hotness and fame
   C7                           C#7       C7
So long as you got irony, honey we'll get along
       B                 Bb                F
We can talk too much and stay way, way too long

[Pre-Chorus]
            Fm
Don't wanna be in your club if you take me as a member
                                    F
I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remembered
      Bb              Bbm
I say ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Fm
Give me a tombstone if you feel you must
F
Sayin'

[Chorus]
Cm                    C#         C
Here lies a clown who wrote some songs
            F
You know he talked too much and stayed too long
                                           G
You know he talked too much and stayed too long

[Instrumental]

G   G7   Gm   G   Gm   Cm   Gm   D   Eb7   D7   G

[Bridge]
          G5
I've been threatened with death and destined with hell
       N.C.
I went hard at a cardinal who was feelin' unwell
N.C.
I had them dog whistling whiners send their dogs after me
N.C.                                      G5
I've been a bigot and a faggot, I've been smug and ugly
N.C.
I'm a long-haired lefty joker and a smoker of bongs
N.C.
And I talk too much and stay too long

[Verse]
               G5
But fuck that "live fast, die young" shit, I plan on getting rickety
Baby I intend to stick around till all you pricks are sick of me
              C5                                Cm
And when they come to wash my old man balls and feed me mashed banana
        G                                  Cm
They'll find me in the common room playin' blues on the piano
Dm             D7         Eb              D7
Same old three chords and cliched fuckin' runs
         Gm7
And I'll talk too much and stay too long
            C
Y'know I'll talk too much (and stayed too long)

[Pre-Chorus]
            Gm
Don't wanna be in your club if you take me as a member
I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remembered
F     C
I say ashes to ashes, dust to dust
          Gm                      G
Give me a tombstone, baby, if you feel you must
Sayin'

[Chorus]
Dm                    Eb         D7
Here lies a clown who wrote some songs
            Gm7                 C7         F
You know he talked too much and stayed too long
            Bb
You know he talked too much and stayed too long
Dm7                         Eb7      D7  G
Another white mother fucker ramblin' on
N.C.
He talked too much and stayed too long
