D Dbm7
Oh, to get ahead in this world
Bm7
Takes a lot of kind words
E
And ruthless damning actions
D Dbm7
And I hope I never have to hurt you
Bm7 E
Though I gladly will do my friend
[Refrão] Bm7 E
And I'll be reading in the kitchen
F#m A
Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be
Bm7 E
Brooding in my bedroom with the
F#m
Shutters down on me
Bm7 E
And this song is not cathartic
F#m A
Because I've done nothing wrong
Bm7 E F#m
It's just a song, it's just a song
verse 2
D Dbm7
Ah, you see the more you're trying
Bm7
The more I know you're lying
E
The more I start to hate the sight of
D Dbm7
you-oo-oo-oo-oo Well tell me what would you do?
Bm7 E
Pulled by both arms, nearly torn in two
[Refrão] Bm7 E
And I'll be reading in the kitchen
F#m A
Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be
Bm7 E
Crying in my bedroom with the
F#m
Covers over me
Bm7 E
And this song is not cathartic
F#m A
Because I've done nothing wrong
Bm7 E F#m
It's just a song, it's just a song
[Refrão] Bm7 E
And I'll be reading in the kitchen
F#m A
Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be
Bm7 E
Brooding in my bedroom with the
F#m
Shutters down on me
Bm7 E
And this song is not cathartic
F#m A
Because I've done nothing wrong
Bm7 E F#m
It's just a song, it's just a song
Bm7 E F#m
It's just a song, it's just a song
