Verse 1:

G+G
It’s half past one
G+G
This midday sun
C majorC      A minorAm
Let’s just get away
    C majorC    A minorAm
It’s a mid week holiday
    G+G
It’s a case of wine
     G+G
Name your place and time
C majorC    A minorAm
It’s not security
C majorC     A minorAm
It’s not stability
C majorC      A minorAm
I don’t have money
C majorC      A minorAm
No place or plan

Chorus 1:
            G+G
But it’s better than a smooth ride
            D MajorD
Better than waiting for low tide
             C majorC
Better than watching from ring side
D MajorD            G+G
Better than taking the fall
              G+G
Better than missing every sunrise
       D MajorD
Trying not to capsize
       C majorC
Better than a compromise
D MajorD            G+G
Better than nothing at all

Verse 2:

G+G
I’m easy and slow
G+G
I can be lazy I know
    C majorC       A minorAm
But I’m right where I want to be so
C majorC      A minorAm
Spare me the third degree
    G+G
I’m the ripple in your drink
    G+G
I’m a smile that’s out of sync, I’m the
C majorC        A minorAm
Rainbow at your funeral
C majorC        A minorAm
I speak in Roman numerals
C majorC   A minorAm
Almost inconsumable
C majorC         A minorAm
My parachute’s on fire

Better than taking the fall
              G+G
Better than missing every sunrise

Trying not to capsize
       C majorC
Better than a compromise
D MajorD            G+G
Better than nothing at all

Verse 3:
    E minorEm     G+G
But you know like I know
    C majorC       A minorAm
I’m the bottom of the pyramid
C majorC     A minorAm
Socially inhibited
E minorEm
Headstrong
         G+G
But it’s a heavy load
     A minorAm        C majorC
When the wolves are at the door
