VERSE 1
D
If it doesn't kill you it'll make you stronger
D
But if it kills you you'll be dead
G
Use fluorescent bulbs, they'll probably last longer
D
But the buzzing sound might hurt your head
B                                             B/C#
There's two ways of looking at your problem
D                           D/C#  D/C
Right or wrong, win or lose
B
Stand around and you'll never get the job done
D                     C
All you have to do is choose


CHORUS
    F                G
Madelaine, stay with me
    D               E
Madelaine, leave me be
    Bb                  A                  D
Madelaine, just tell me what you're gonna do
    F                G
Madelaine, stay for more
    D               E
Madelaine, use the door
    Bb                  A            D
Madelaine, I'm gonna leave it up to you


VERSE 2
D
You could buy a dog to keep away the bad guys
D
But you'd have to walk him every day
G
You could open up a Chicken Kitchen franchise
D
Piss off the ASPCA
B                                        B/C#
Either way, you better make your mind up
D                            D/C#  D/C
What is what, which is which
B
'Cause on the mound, they're ready with the windup
D                          C
And you can't miss another pitch


CHORUS
    F                G
Madelaine, stay with me
    D               E
Madelaine, leave me be
    Bb                  A                  D
Madelaine, just tell me what you're gonna do
    F                G
Madelaine, stay for more
    D               E
Madelaine, use the door
    Bb                  A            D
Madelaine, I'm gonna leave it up to you


BRIDGE
Gm      A       Gm      A
So many tasties on your plate
Bb        F              G
What is a hungry girl to do?
Gm      A      Gm     A
Already it may be too late
Bb                      C     D
I'm sick of cooking for you


VERSE 3
D
You could tell me that it's getting past your bedtime
D
And that you have to say good night
G
You could tell me that you've had way too much red wine
D
You would probably be right
B                                          B/C#
Either way, you better wash those glasses
D                            D/C#  D/C
You've got friends coming by
B
And besides, you're sick of making passes
D                    C
Truth be told, so am I


CHORUS
    F                G
Madelaine, stay with me
    D               E
Madelaine, leave me be
    Bb                  A                  D
Madelaine, just tell me what you're gonna do
    F                G
Madelaine, stay for more
    D               E
Madelaine, use the door
    Bb                  A            D
Madelaine, I'm gonna leave it up to you
