 I saw Paul Westerberg in Indianapolis the other night, and he closed with a
 great version of this song.  The lyrics are as close to what he sang in
 concert as I could get (not exactly what is on the album), with some help from
 cs.uwp.edu (transcribed by The Skyway).

IOU

B
Get me out of this stinkin’ fresh air
D                Db           B
Night and day in the electric chair
B
Step right up son
E                        D           Db   B     E
gonna show you something ain’t never been done
D      Db   B
you’re all fucked.

Listen, it don’t cost much
I lay down the line, and you suck
Never do what you’re told
There’ll be time for dreamin’ when you’re old
You’re all wrong and I’m right

F#                Db
Please be on your honor
F#                Db
Please be on my side

(back in here)

Solo over E - B

chorus (chords only)

Listen to the story all right
I’ll lose it all right on that dotted line
Step right up son
gonna show you something ain’t never been done
You’re all wrong and I’m right

B
You see I want it in writing, I owe you nothing
          want it in writing, I owe you nothing
          want it in writing
