Verse 3
A augmentedA                     D MajorD
Getting drugged up with my trendy friends
A augmentedA
They really dig me and I dig them

And the bread I spend - is like my fame - it's quickly diminished

There's no more swim in the guitar shaped pool
D MajorD            A augmentedA
No more reporters at my back and call

No more cocaine, now it's only ground chalk
D MajorD            A augmentedA
No more taxis now we'll have to walk

Chorus
  E MajorE     D MajorD   A augmentedA
But didn't we have a nice time -

Didn't we have a nice time

Oh wasn't it such a fine time

Verse 5

I realize should have stuck to my guns
A augmentedA
Instead shit turned out to be one of the bastard sons

And lose myself -  I know it was wrong - it's cost me the lot

Verse 6
D MajorD              A augmentedA
There's no more drinking when the club shuts down
   D MajorD            A augmentedA
I'm now at my arse with the rest of the clowns
D MajorD                 A augmentedA
It's really frightening without a bodyguard
D MajorD             A augmentedA
So I stay confined to my lonely room

Chorus
   E MajorE    D MajorD    A augmentedA
But didn't we have a nice time -
