Dm                                 F
You might think I'm crazy, but I'm serious
     Dm                  F
It's better you know now
Dm7                              F
What I thought was happiness was only part time bliss
G7                 Bb    Am
You can take a bow
Dm                             F
It was all just one big night out on the town
Dm7            F
Riding in your limousine
Dm7                                    F
We turned right and I said wrong which brings us to a stop
G7
As the light is changing

Bb    Am

[Chorus]
                               Bb   
Oh, my meters running, so I've got to go now
Gm                                 Bb     Am Dm
It's the pleasure principle, oh-o, oh-o, oh-ooo
F                      Dm
It's the principle of pleasure, oh-ooo
         Gm                    Bb   
It's the pleasure principle, oh-o, oh-o


[Verse 2]
Dm                                       F
It's true you want to build your life on guarantees
Dm7                   F
Hey, take a ride in a big yellow taxi
Dm7                              F
I'm not here to feed your insecurities
  G                      Bb    Am
I wanted you to love me
Dm                          F
This has become an all too familiar scene
Dm                         F
It's not the first time I paid the fare
Dm                             F
Where'd you get the idea of material possession?
G                       Bb   
Thank you for the ride, nowhere


[Chorus]
Am                 A                Bb   
And oh, my meters running, so I've really got to go

                               Bb   
Oh, my meters running, so I've got to go now
Gm                                 Bb     Am Dm
It's the pleasure principle, oh-o, oh-o, oh-ooo
F                      Dm
It's the principle of pleasure, oh-ooo
         Gm                    Bb   
It's the pleasure principle, oh-o, oh-o
