Am Em F Am
Am Em F C
Am Em F Am
[Verse 1]
Am Em F C
The voice inside the suit came crawling down the telephone
Am Em F Am
Somewhere between a chessboard and a nursery rhyme
Am Em F C
I heard the rattlesnake shaking in his invitation
Am Em F Am
And the whites of his knuckles on the other end of the line
[Chorus]
Am Em F C
Midas, yeah

Midas, lalalalalala
Am Em F C
Midas, yeah

Midas
[Verse 2]
Am Em F C
Stepped inside his office and the whole place seemed to shiver, he said
Am Em F C
Come here a little closer boy, come on, don't be shy
Am Em F C
I searched to find the fracture in his tombstone facelift
Am Em F C
And he fixed me with the coldness of the kingdom in his eyes
[Chorus]
Am Em F C
Midas, yeah
Am Em F Am
Midas, lalalalalala
Am Em F C

He said come on kid, you think we got a deal, yeah?
Am Em F Am
Threw his head back like a pelican and straightened his tie-ie-ie-ie
Am Em F C
Stop that man, you're making me kinda nervous
Am Em F Am
And with a click of his silvered fingers I was falling through the sky
[Chorus]
Am Em F C
Midas, yeah
Am Em F Am
Midas, lalalalalala
Am Em F C
Midas, yeah
Am Em F Am
Midas
