    I got a scent on you,   I got something here to show,
C#m7b5C#m7b5              Am7Am7  Am7(type2)
    It's somebody's slice of life,
E7sus4E7sus4             D6D6
    I had it tailor made,   I had it soaken,
      C#m7b5C#m7b5              Am7Am7      Am7(type2)
Shaken and...   shown around the world! | / / / / | / / / / |

    And of all these things you tell me,    I can't quite believe,
Bbsus2Bbsus2                   Asus2Asus2   FF
    You are still there, and I'm still trying...  to be somebody!

    Always on the upkeep,   always trying to reach the rest of us,
D6D6                  C#m7b5C#m7b5         Am7Am7
  We don't have... anything to say, nothing to give, well, life, it blows away,
E7sus4E7sus4             G6G6
    I have another chance,   I may have two lives,
    D6D6
But my...  both my lives will be... brief lives,
     C#m7b5C#m7b5        Am7Am7
And then,    you all will wonder why!

    Life isn't so complicated, but then life isn't 'sposed to be!
