Mandy Goes to Med School - The Dresden Dolls
Email: rapitinui@gmail.com
Intro: Em (tacit) C (tacit)
I've been feeling dull as a coathanger, pretty as a picture of a
G (tacit) A7 Em (tacit) C (tacit)
patient on a fresh I. V... Giddy as a gang-banger with a set of
(tacit) G (tacit) A7 B7
sutures where his Magic Johnson ought to be..
Verse: (dampen strings in first verse)
im
Yes! I'll tell you everything you need to be the next big thing; let's
Em (sim.) Am F#dim
start in with a test of your intelligence and
zest for the counter-productive;
up and down and roundabout and out the back and keep your mouth shut tight!
The lights are staying out but no sweat, I've got aim like a Mack truck.
Guess how many fingers? Okay! Guess how many more I can stick there?
Guess right gets the toaster but you know, miss, guessing gets you nowhere.
Bridge:
I've been baking cakes for the enemy,
I've been dying to find out the hard way.
I've been taking friends to the alleyway,
two down now but who's counting anyway?
Verse:
im
Yes! I can do everything you need from out of my new S. U.
im
V. My work is guaranteed to last the length of your recovery.
Em (sim.) Am F#dim B7
Put away those pliers, honey, trust me cause I know the options:
How about a nine-month long vacation and a two-foot coffin?
Bridge:
I've been getting up close and intimate, some close calls but
hey! I'm getting into it.
In some states they say you can burn for it but I'll burn that
bridge when I get to it.
Chorus:
D C# C B (tacit)
It's not a bad thing,
D (sim.) C# C B
to get professional.
It has a nice ring:
Mandy goes to med school..!
Instrumental (as for second verse)
Bridge:
I've been taking tips from the government, I've been getting
damn good at hiding it.
Fifty bucks a month oughta cover it, two down now but who's gonna notice it?
And if you show up and I am unavailable, my partner Brian would
love to take care of you.
Chorus:
He is a nice man;
thoroughly reliable.
He's in a rock band,
and he goes to med school..!
Instrumental (as for second verse)
End:
