C C
I forced myself to open my eyes
Em7 G/F# G C
but if this hangover is killing me
Am C G
I died at least three times during the night
G/F# Em7 C C
and I dribbled on myself again
C Em7 G/F# G C
so anyone who told me I should shut my mouth
Am C
turned out to be alright in the end
C G G/F# Em7
And I have to leave this place by god it's killing me
C C G G/F# Em7 C
I guess I'll go to London on the train if the bastards not delayed
C G G/F# Em7
and in the Barfly I'll think about my life
C
or that time I played in Newbury
C
and nobody came.
C C G G/F# Em7
and I know that somethings wrong but I don't know what
C C G G/F# Em7 C
and I may not be alone but that's still life whether you like it or not
C G G/F# Em7
and I may give it up for fortune and for fame
C C C Am G
but I will still be the cynical when I get paid
G C C
And maybe then I'll have some credibility
C Em7 G/F# G C Am C
and I don't mean being mentioned in the NME
C C G G/F# Em7
I know that I've got stupid hair and wonky teeth
C C G
and they probably look for prettier than me.
Em7 G D
Why do you call me grumpy anyway?
Em7 G D
when you can so often find me with a smile on my face,
Cadd9 Cadd9 G G/F# Em7
laughing at the chav boys and their spit for brains
C
and their nineties fucking tracksuits
C
and their pretend MC names.
C C G G/F# Em7
and I know that something's wrong but I don't know what
C C G G/F# Em7 C
and I may not be alone but it's still life wether you like it or not
C G G/F# Em7
and I may give it up for fortune and for fame
C C C Am G
but I will still be the cynical when I get paid
Em7 G D
Maybe then i'll write decent middle eight
G G/F# Em7 D
that isn't just the same four chords that i've already played
G D
and the crowd will cheer me on from fret to fret
C
and I'll have a record contract
C
and it might help me begin to forget
C C G G/F# Em7
and I know that something's wrong but I don't know what
C C G G/F# Em7 C
and I may not be alone but it's still life wether you like it or not
C G G/F# Em7
and I may give it up for fortune and for fame

but I will still be the cynical when I get paid
C C Em7
and I'll be this way until I get laid
G/F# G
good god.
C C C Am
And all this is why I'm going so grey.
