INTRO:  D#   Cm   Gm   Bb


VERSE:

D#
When I had my wheels in motion
Cm			      Bb
Never did you think of me
G#	      Bb            Cm      C#
Fine thing, fine state of affairs
D#
If I had my mind in motion
Cm                         Bb
Never would I think of you
          G#         Bb             Cm      
Cause it's my fate, fine state of affairs
       C#
No one cares, no, no


CHORUS (w/RIFF):

D#    Cm    Gm    Bb   (x4)

Not supposed to want nobody
Not supposed to need nobody (nobody, nobody cares)
You’re not supposed to touch nobody (nobody cares)
Don't you dare go love nobody


VERSE:
Ooh I miss the real exciters
Anything with anyone
Such a fine thing, fine state of affairs, ooh yeah
Lining up for fast one-nighters
When the final show was done
Such a fine thing, fine state of affairs
No one cares, no, no


CHORUS:
Not supposed to want nobody
Not supposed to need nobody (nobody, nobody cares)
Not supposed to touch nobody (nobody cares)
Don't you dare go love nobody


SOLO


CHORUS:
You’re not supposed to touch nobody (nobody cares)
Not supposed to love nobody
Fine state, state of affairs
Fine state, state of affairs
Fine state, state of affairs....
