[INTRO] Gmaj7 E7
[Verse]
Gmaj7 E7
Call me morbid, call me pale
Gmaj7 E7
I've spent six years on your trail
Bm A6 G
Six long years
E7 A
On your trail
Gmaj7 E7
Call me morbid, call me pale
Gmaj7 E7
I've spent six years on your trail
Bm A6 G E7 A
Six full years of my life on your trail
[Chorus]
F# G D A
And if you have five seconds to spare
F# G C G6
Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
D A
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
F# Bm G
I went to London and I
D A F#m F#
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
Gmaj7 E7
I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?
Gmaj7 E7
I like it here - can I stay ?
Bm A6 G
Do you have a vacancy
E7 A
For a Back-scrubber?"
[Verse]
Gmaj7 E7
She was left behind, and sour
Gmaj7 E7
And she wrote to me, equally dour
Bm
She said : "In the days when you were
A G
Hopelessly poor
E7 A
I just liked you more..."
[Chorus]
F# G D A
And if you have five seconds to spare
F# G C G6
Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
D A
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
F# Bm G
I went to London and I
D A F#m F#
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
Gmaj7 E7
I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?
Gmaj7 E7
I like it here - can I stay ?
Bm A6 G
Do you have a vacancy
E7 A
For a Back-scrubber?"
[Verse]
Gmaj7 E7
Call me morbid, call me pale
Gmaj7 E7
I've spent too long on your trail
Bm A G
Far too long
E7
Chasing your tail
A
Oh ...
[Chorus]
F# G D A
And if you have five seconds to spare
F# G C G6
Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
D A
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
F# Bm G
That's the story of my life
D A
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
F#m F#
The story of my life
Gmaj7 E7
That's the story of my life
Gmaj7 E7
That's the story of my life
Gmaj7 E7
That's the story of my life
Gmaj7 E7.....
The story of my life
(repeat Gmaj7/E7 until end)
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story ...
