Woke up this morning, started to sneeze, I had a cigarette and a cup of tea
C#m                                      B                        C#m
I looked in the mirror what did I see? A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
C#m                                         B                           C#m
I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes, I had another sneeze and I blew my nose

I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest, I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed
A                 E        B                    C#m
Surely there must be a way for me to change the shape I'm in
A               E           B                   G#

A                 E           B                            G#
