The Bidding

          Am            Dm6        C     E
I've been sleeping in a cardboard box
               Am            Dm6       C     E
spending every dollar at the liquor shop
                  Am             C       F
and even though I know I haven't got a lot
     Dm              E               E/G#    Am
I'll try to give you loving till the day you drop

          Am              Dm6      C      E
I've been training like a Pavlov dog
            Am              Dm6       C     E
sent my independence out to take a hike
              Am         C         F     Dm
all you gotta do is activate my bell
         E            E/G#         Am
and I'll fetch you anything you like

[Chorus]
         D           C
Going once, going twice
        F               G
Every man here has a price
        D          C
Over here, over there
        F            G      E
Sold to not a single lady in here

[Verse]
     Am               Dm          C
I've been here like a thousand times
G          Am            Dm       C     E
Dated every woman in the atmosphere
     Am            Dm6      C     E
I've been to every continent
               Am              Dm6     C
Broken all the hearts in every hemisphere
           E               Am              C       F
And if I'm not the type of guy you like to circumvent
         Dm          E              E/G# Am
Just remember not to love me when I disappear

  Am        Dm       C
I graduated at the top
  E               Am            Dm       C
I like to take advantage of the bourgeoisie
   E             Am         C       F
So if you have a fantasy of being a queen
Dm               E                      Am
Maybe you should blow a couple bucks on me

[Chorus]
         D           C
Going once, going twice
            F             G
Won't these gentlemen suffice?
       D         C
Any here, any there
      A#         A
Any motions anywhere

      D            C
Going twice, going thrice
           F                G         E
Guess this means we'll go 4 times a lady

[Bridge]
A                            D          A
I promise I'll be all you need, ever need
       Bm                   E
You'll never have to shop around (don't shop around)
    A                            D        F#
And I'll give you all you ever need, ever need
      Bm               E            A             F#
Don't worry, I will never let you down, let you down
      Bm               E            A
Don't worry, I will never let you down

[Outro]
D                  C
So many ladies are wanting for mates
            F                      G
And the prospects are good but the date's never great
         D                  C
Over here, over there, over where, anywhere
            F
They're too busy with winning
G
The bidding to care and he's
D
Sold
