[Intro]
G | G | G | G |
G Bm | C | G Bm | C |
[Verse 1]
G C
When they wheel me in, to Silverville
G C Am
I will dribble words, I will lose my will to sur-vive
D G Bm | C |
With the cotton tops every night
Am D
I'm stuck in a room, watching TV
Am D
With a cord to pull by my bed,
G Bm | C |
In case I have an accident
Am D
Forced to drink soup, sucking white bread
Am D
Forking around every meal
G
Maybe God will do a deal
[Chorus 1]
Em D# D C
Co-medians come to tell you bad jokes
G F C
I sit on the sofa and grin
G F C
I don't know if it's out or it's in
Em D# D C
Everyone sleeps for most of the day
G F
Un-til you're invited to dance
C Cm
And you fall into some old girl's arms
G Bm | C | G Bm | C |
[Verse 2]
G C
When they wheel me in, to Silverville
G C Am
I will dribble words, I will lose my will to sur-vive
D G Bm | C |
With the cotton tops every night
Am D
Victor's just died, right there in his chair
Am D G Bm | C |
And Betty has gone for her hip, and Peter's on his drip
Am D
I never thought that my time would come
Am A D
Life seems to be on re-peat
G
As I shuffle on my feet
[Chorus 2]
Em D# D C
So what's life been for, to just be ig-nored?
G F C
Fuck the jigsaws all day.
G F Cm G B | C |
I want to live I don't want to fade... a-way
G Bm | C |
Fade a-way
G Bm | C |
Fade a-way
G Bm | C | G
Fade a-way
