Riot Act by Elvis Costello
from the album *Get Happy*
D/C = x20232
Bm7 = x2x23x BbMAJ7 = x1x23x
A Dm A Dm A
Forever
Dm C F
doesn't mean forever anymore
A Dm A
I said forever
Dm C F
But it doesn't look like I'm gonna be around much anymore
D G
When the heat gets so tropical
Bm Em
And the talk gets so topical
D D/C Bm7 (can use B5)
Riot act - you can read me the riot act
BbMAJ7 Em7
You can make me a matter of fact
A
Or a villain in a million
Em7 A
A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian
C#m C Bm
Why do you talk such stupid nonsense
Bb A
When my mind could rest much easier
C#m C Bm
Instead of all this dumb dumb insolence
Bb A
I would be happier with amnesia
A Dm A
They say forget her
Dm c F
Now it looks like you're either gonna be before me or against me
A Dm A
I got your letter
Dm C F
Now they say I don't care for the color that it paints me
D G
Trying to be so bad is bad enough
Bm Em
Don't make me laugh by talking tough
D G
Don't put your heart out on your sleeve
Em
When your remarks are off the cuff
Chorus . . . . . .
