Me And Liza

   / Rufus Wainwright  /  "'Me and Liza' is a new track that I wrote
  / Me and Liza       /  with Guy Chambers. It's kind of campy, showbiz,
 / Vibrate (best of) /  ridiculousness."

 CHORDS
**********
Live, Rufus plays this song in D major (that is capo on the 2nd fret for E major).
I would guess his chords are a previous sketch of the song, since no acoustic
guitar appears on this album version. However, it does make it slightly easier
to play on acoustic guitar.
To get the chords in D major, simply transpose these chords down 2 semi-tones.
 LYRICS
**********
Me and Liza, Liza and I
famous 'til the day that we die
Momma made it so hard to try
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Daddy writing unanswered letters. Why?
Come on, Liza, give me a try!
Blowing on the embers of fame
Burning down the house of your name
Everything can go up in flames
As long as you have something to frame
Energizer, baby's on fire
No one's gonna hatchet you down
Terminator, thief of desire
No one's getting out of this town
Poking up the embers of fame
Burning down the house of your name
Everything can go up in flames
As long as you have something to frame
Me and Liza, Liza and I
happy that we're now such good friends
Looking forward, forward to seeing you
Love like ours, we cannot pretend
Choking on the embers of fame
Burning down the house of your name
Everything can go up in flames
As long as you have something to frame
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Me and Liza, Liza and I
Me and Liza, Liza and I
