      Am               Am                 Am            Am                      Am     Am   Am
This didn’t used to be me, old boy, this isn’t what I’d want, pulling old night fighters,     in a restaurant
         Am                       Am          Am                    Am
There’s smoke and flames behind me, where the self-respect all went,
           C      Am     F           Am  Am Am Am   Am Am Am Am
and I’m behind, behind,    with the rent

Verse 2:
Am                            Am                    Am             Am
I’ve been stitched up like a kipper, old son, but I won’t be again, Hell hath no fury,
Am                          Am
   Oh, I’m like a lot of men
Am          Am                Am            Am               Am
   Now I’m stalking this old Doris,  with lascivious intent
         C      Am     F          Am  Am Am Am
and I’m behind, behind, with the rent

Chorus:
| Am         | 2/4 Em | F | F |
Just a little duck and dive
| C          | 2/4 Em  | F | F |
and a bit of wheel and deal
F         G |  | 2/4 C | F | F |
She’ll remind me I’m alive
| Dm     Am     | 2/4 F | G | G |
She’ll remind me I still feel

| Am         | 2/4 Em | F | F |
Just a little shelling out
| C             | 2/4 Em  | F | F |
   for a bit of you-know-what
| F      G     | 2/4 C | F | F |
I know this is all about
| Dm     Am     | 2/4 F | G | G | G | G |
something that I never got

Solo:
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
| Am | Am | Am | C  |
| Am | F  | Am | Am |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
| Am | Am |

Am                            Am                    Am                  Am                  Am
Well this crumpet’s past it’s sell-by-date, but they all would qualify, they’re going to be lonely
       Am        Am        Am       Am               Am      Am                Am
and be happy to comply,        She knows that I’m a chancer, coming on like a gent
           C       Am    F            Am
but I’m behind, behind,     with the rent
            C       Am   F             Am
Yes, I’m behind, behind,     with the rent

Outro:
| Am | Am | Am |
