Em                                               D
Textbook, I tried to clean the house before you woke up
                                Em
I left recording finishing the same hook
                                    D
I was singing when we come in from dinner
                   Em                                    D
And there’s a tune on that’s slightly reminiscent of an old song
                                         Em
That my father used to play when he was on one
            D
They say I act just like him

         C                       Em
And   basically              I do this all the time

Em                                              D
Textbook, I tried to count my blessings in the lift up
                                      Em
I’d leave but Steve is giving me the same look
                                           D
That he gives me when I’ve turned up for stage late

Em                                 D
And I’d be working my ticket but I know that I’ll be all night
Em                                     D
I think we best just get the balance right
