Below are the chords I use, as well as some lyrics that have been “tidied up” a bit. It’s how I sing it at the children’s hospital. If you’re working with grown-ups, you can use your clinical judgement around whether or not to censor. Also, just so you’re not in the dark and/or caught off guard, you should know that “Michelle Pfeiffer/That white gold” is a reference to cocaine. Yikes!
