One More Minute by Weird Al Yankovic

Words transcribed by I. Josh Greenstein (at least they were on his web page)
Chords by Bo Ford

I haven’t heard this song in a while, so please feel free to correct any
mistakes.  I’m not
absolutely sure if the B7 is right, but it sounds pretty close.  Have fun.
Bo

D                        G        D                  G
Well I heard that you’re leaving, gonna leave me far behind,
B7                           Em           A                       D
’Cause you found a brand new lover, you decided that I’m not your kind.


G                     D         G
So I pulled your name out of my Rolladex,
      C                         G
And I tore all your pictures in two,
      B7                              Em
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go,
     A                        D
Just because it reminds me of you.....


C                 D                  G
That’s right, you ain’t gonna see me crying,
C                 D              G
I’m glad that you found somebody new,
           C             D              G                C
’Cause I’d rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass,
     G              D           G
Than spend one more minute with you.


D                        G
I guess I may seem kinda bitter,
    D              G           D
You got me feeling down in the dumps,
           B7                        Em
’Cause I’m stranded all alone in the gas station of love,
      A                            D
And I have to use the self-service pumps...


      C             D                  G
Oh so honey, let me help you with that suitcase
    C           D                 G
You ain’t gonna break my heart in two
           C            D                G                C
’Cause I’d rather get a hundred-thousand paper cuts on my face,
     G              D           G
Than spend one more minute with you..


Em                    D                 G
I’d rather rip out my intestines with a fork
C                                   G
Than watch you going out with other men
Em                 G            Em
I’d rather slam my fingers in a door,
A                                            D
Again, and again, and again, and again, and again

Oh can’t you what I’m trying to say, darlin’


    C              D                   G
I’d rather have my blood sucked out by leaches
         C                D           G
Shove an ice-pick under a toe nail or two
    C                    D
I’d rather clean all the bathrooms
                 G                C
In Grand Central Station, with my tongue..
     G              D           G
Than spend one more minute with you


                     C          D            G
Yes, I’d rather dive naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks
            C          D                 G
Or stick my nostrils together with Krazy-Glue
    C                D
I’d rather dive in a swimming pool filled with
G                  C
Double-edged razor blades
     G              D           Em
Than spend one more minute with you


           C                            D
I’d rather rip my heart right out of my ribcage with my bare hands
    G                                            C
And throw it on the floor and stomp on it till I die....
     G              D           G
Than spend one more minute with you.....
