🤘 Intro:

E minorEm


🤘 Verse 1:
E minorEm
When it came to me one day in Jerksville
E minorEm
Man, I was right on the edge
E minorEm
That jacket’s too small for a man of your size
E minorEm
And those socks are too big for your head

🤘 Chorus:
  C majorC         G+G     D MajorD
My eyes glaze at whatever you say
    C majorC      G+G      D MajorD
But I’m listening, do tell me more
    C majorC            G+G    D MajorD
It goes under the bridge, right over my head
  C majorC        G+G     D MajorD   B minorBm  E minorEm
And out through my portable door


🤘 Verse 2:
E minorEm
I was trapped in a dire situation
E minorEm
Between reason and someone-in-law
E minorEm
The winner takes all and runs off with the ball
E minorEm
Nothing could pleasure me more


🤘 Chorus:
C majorC           G+G     D MajorD
Times were, I’d have spoken my piece
   C majorC     G+G       D MajorD
For a minute or two held the floor
   C majorC            G+G     D MajorD
But I can’t get a word in so here I am hurtling
   C majorC        G+G     D MajorD   B minorBm
Right out through my portable door

🤘 Chorus:
  C majorC            G+G       D MajorD
The jabbering’s hurting my brain cell so bad
  C majorC      G+G     D MajorD
For once in my life I am bored
  C majorC            G+G      D MajorD
The public house beckons, I follow the call
     C majorC       G+G     D MajorD   B minorBm
And slip in through my portable door


🤘 Verse 3:
   E minorEm
The unlikely event came upon me
E minorEm
I wasn’t prepared for the shock
E minorEm
Once round my neck and twice round the deck
E minorEm
And the rest disappeared up the block


🤘 Chorus:
  C majorC        G+G       D MajorD
So here we are and everything’s changed
C majorC      G+G    D MajorD
Faster than ever before
  C majorC           G+G        D MajorD
You gotta be jokin’, man what are you smoking
    C majorC        G+G     D MajorD   B minorBm
Blow it out through my portable door


🤘 Outro:
E minorEm
