Verse 1:
   A minorAm        A minorAm         A minorAm      A minorAm           A minorAm   A minorAm  A minorAm
This didn’t used to be me, old boy, this isn’t what I’d want, pulling old night fighters,   in a restaurant
     A minorAm            A minorAm     A minorAm          A minorAm
There’s smoke and flames behind me, where the self-respect all went,
      C majorC   A minorAm   FF      A minorAm A minorAm Am A minorAm  A minorAm Am A minorAm Am
and I’m behind, behind,  with the rent

Verse 2:
A minorAm              A minorAm          A minorAm       A minorAm
I’ve been stitched up like a kipper, old son, but I won’t be again, Hell hath no fury,
A minorAm             A minorAm
  Oh, I’m like a lot of men
A minorAm     A minorAm        A minorAm      A minorAm        A minorAm
  Now I’m stalking this old Doris, with lascivious intent
     C majorC   A minorAm   FF     A minorAm A minorAm Am A minorAm
and I’m behind, behind, with the rent

Chorus:
| A minorAm     | 2/4 E minorEm | FF | FF |
Just a little duck and dive
| C majorC     | 2/4 E minorEm | FF | FF |
and a bit of wheel and deal
FF     G+G | | 2/4 C majorC | FF | FF |
She’ll remind me I’m alive
| DmDm   A minorAm   | 2/4 FF | G+G | G+G |
She’ll remind me I still feel

| A minorAm     | 2/4 E minorEm | FF | FF |
Just a little shelling out
| C majorC       | 2/4 E minorEm | FF | FF |
  for a bit of you-know-what
| FF   G+G   | 2/4 C majorC | FF | FF |
I know this is all about
| DmDm   A minorAm   | 2/4 FF | G+G | G+G | G+G | G+G |
something that I never got

Verse 3:
A minorAm              A minorAm          A minorAm         A minorAm         A minorAm
Well this crumpet’s past it’s sell-by-date, but they all would qualify, they’re going to be lonely
    A minorAm    A minorAm    A minorAm    A minorAm        A minorAm   A minorAm        A minorAm
and be happy to comply,    She knows that I’m a chancer, coming on like a gent
      C majorC    A minorAm  FF      A minorAm
but I’m behind, behind,   with the rent
      C majorC    A minorAm  FF       A minorAm
Yes, I’m behind, behind,   with the rent
