Living Well Is The Best Revenge by R.E.M




Intro: B

Verse:

B
It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live
                                                               A
and suddenly you wake up in a shaken panic now
B
You had set me up like a lamb to slaughter

Garbo as a farmer's daughter, Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?
          A
I lay right down

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A                  E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F#                                  A          A/Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
          A                 E
because living well's the best revenge
D            A                  E
Baby, I am calling you on that

Verse:

B
Don't turn your talking points on me. History will set me free
A
The future is ours and you don't even rate a footnote now!
B
So who's chasing you? Where did you go?

You disappear mid-sentence. In a judgement crisis I see my in and go for it
                 A
You weakened shill.

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A                 E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F#                                 A          A/Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
                 A                  E
because living well is the best revenge
D                    A                E
and baby, I am calling you on that

Verse:

B
You savor your dying breath,  I forgive but I don't forget

You work it out, let's hear that argument again
                             A
Camera three... GO NOW!

Chorus:

F#
All your sad and lost apostles
 A                 E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F#                                   A    Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
             A                   E
because living well is the best revenge
D                   A                  E
and baby, I am calling you on that
D            A                E
Baby, I am calling you on that
D           A                 E
Baby, I am calling you on that

End on B
