🤘 Intro:

Em


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

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


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


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

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


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


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


🤘 Outro:
Em
