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]

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]

You could buy a dog to keep away the bad guys
D
But you'd have to walk him every day

Piss off the ASPCA
B B/C#

Madelaine, stay with me
D E
Madelaine, leave me be
Bb A D
Madelaine, just tell me what you're gonna do

[VERSE 3]
D
You could tell me that it's getting past your bedtime

Truth be told, so am I
