[verse]
A E F#m
if you get out before September
C#m D A
remember that I'm still inside
B E
but I'm dry I'm dry
A E F#m
and you when you try to make a difference
C#m D A
you're so different and then I try
B E
and just die I die
A E
she knows that I need
F#m
you more than I want ya
C#m D
but I want ya for all time
A
so I'm I guess on the line.
[chorus]
D A
its all that I can do to sing-these stupid songs to you
D A
I give up half my time just trying-to think up words that rhyme
D A F#m
I aint getting any younger but you wouldn't know
G E
so its on with the show
[verse]
A E F#m
Some times a smoke a drink and a ponder
C#m D
can work wonders when you're down
A B E
takes your frown turns it round around
A E F#m
and you when you try to make a difference
C#m D A
you're no different than when I try
B E
and just die I die
A E F#m
and now that your day dream is forgotten
C#m D
and forgiven and the world
A
has been saved be brave
[chorus]
D A
its all that I can do to sing these stupid songs to you
D A
I give up half my time just trying to think up words that rhyme
D A F#m
I aint getting any younger but you wouldn't know
G F#m
cos i wooo...on't live in your shadow
G F#m
and i never ever ever really showed my face
G
but i'm only ever see in the right place
