Intro:
C  Cmaj7  F  C

Chorus:
Cmaj7
I'm the town crier
F                         C
And everybody knows
Cmaj7
I'm a little down
F                            C
With a lifetime to go
Am                      Am/G                                D/F#
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place
Am                      Am/G                    D/F#
Why don't you take a good look at my face
Bm                       Bm/A                   E/G#
Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip
Bm                                         Bm/A          E/G#
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip

I'm never going to cry again

I'm going to be as strong as them

They'll give you something to cry about

And suddenly you really fall to pieces

Long suffering friends of your fatal charm

Just a little boy lost in a big man's shirt

And suddenly you really fall to pieces
