Key: G+G

Intro:

G+G


Verse 1:
    G+G
Black rings round your eyes
       DmDm
And you're spewing your lies
      G+G          DmDm
That you know is your old routine
       A minorAm
Spilling your drink
         E minorEm
With a nudge and wink
          A minorAm      E minorEm
As you boast about people you've been
     G+G
Smoking your cigarette
DmDm
Down to the butt
     G+G            DmDm
And your teeth are as black as the tar
   A minorAm
You tell them at sex
     E minorEm
You're a stud in the bed
    A minorAm            E minorEm
As you hang for your life on the bar
    G+G
And you see your own peak
    DmDm
On the top of the mountain
   G+G            DmDm
Of bodies you trod on to get there
    A minorAm
Shit on me, shit on her
     E minorEm
Shit on you in the end
     A minorAm             E minorEm
And they won't even lend you the bus fare
      G+G
Now you're boring the pants off
   DmDm
The tart on the dance-floor
     G+G              DmDm
As you tell her the person you once were
     A minorAm
She just sees you as trash
     E minorEm
But she creams at the cash
      A minorAm           E minorEm
That you might pay just to grope her

Verse 2:
     G+G       DmDm
And this town is a potpourri of disease
     G+G
Can you smell the herpes
         DmDm
from the scum-sucking fucks
      A minorAm              E minorEm
That hang around the same suckers each mid-night
      A minorAm
You were being your photo
          E minorEm
And spouting your promo
     G+G
Flicking back your limp quiff
      DmDm
That's as limp as your dick
     G+G            DmDm
Irritating your greedy cross-eyed sight

   A minorAm             E minorEm
Oh Christ and you're greasing up now
          A minorAm
To the creepy old cow
             E minorEm
That would sell out your mother and besides
G+G
Your sell-out assured
          DmDm
You were always a whore
       G+G            DmDm
And you've always been taken for long rides
     A minorAm
At the smell of the bribe
     E minorEm
You go jelly inside
    A minorAm               E minorEm
As you step up the gold ladder to big time
   G+G                   DmDm
Kick them on the way up, kick you on the way down
   G+G                 DmDm
And you'll need them all again in good time
    A minorAm
Your friend is the "yes" man
         E minorEm
Who sits by your side
     A minorAm             E minorEm
With his hand in your pocket all the time
      G+G
And he's messing your head
          DmDm
Tries to get you in bed
     G+G           DmDm
Well it's all masturbation of a kind

Verse 3:
     G+G
What you earn, heaven knows
             DmDm
It goes straight up your nose
     G+G              DmDm
And you strangle your health in the end
      A minorAm
And you're blinded by bull
            E minorEm
And you've really been full
      A minorAm              E minorEm
And it's driving you straight round the bend
       G+G
And you're told that a smile
         DmDm
is so worth your while
      G+G          DmDm
Its what "yes" men call diplomacy
    A minorAm
It'll get you the goal
      E minorEm
But while losing the soul
    A minorAm         E minorEm
You're forgetting the quality
     G+G
And you heave on your drink
      DmDm
As you're starting to think
   G+G              E minorEm
That all that shines may not be larme
   A minorAm
But a cheap substitute
     E minorEm
That'll give you the boot
       A minorAm           E minorEm
You're just a stiff at a funeral party
      G+G
Where you slouch on the bar
      DmDm
With your arm in the beer
     G+G           DmDm
Wearing yesterday's mascara today
    A minorAm
And it runs when you cry
    E minorEm
about living a lie
     A minorAm            E minorEm
And the lie's starting to fade away   Fade away
