INTRO - Amaj7Amaj7 Bm7Bm7 (x2)

Amaj7Amaj7                Bm7Bm7
Always at the foot of the photograph that's me there snug as a thug in a
Amaj7Amaj7               Bm7Bm7
Mugshot pose a foul-mouthed rogue owner of his corner and not much more
      A augmentedA        Amaj7Amaj7 D MajorD        E MajorE
Still these days I'm better placed to get my just rewards
      A augmentedA          Amaj7Amaj7     D MajorD             E MajorE
I'll pound out a tune and very soon I'll have too much to say and a dead stupid name

E7E7      A augmentedA      D MajorD     E MajorE       E7E7
And though i ought to be learning i feel like a veteran
  A augmentedA       D MajorD   E MajorE         B minorBm
Of "oh i like your poetry but I hate your poems"
A augmentedA     D MajorD      E MajorE        E7E7
Calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers
   A augmentedA    D MajorD    E MajorE             B minorBm  A augmentedA
I've turned 21, I've twist, I'm bust and wrong again

Bm7Bm7

Amaj7Amaj7                   Bm7Bm7
Rubbing shoulders with the sheets till two looking at my watch and I'm half-past caring
Amaj7Amaj7                     Bm7Bm7
In the lap of luxury it comes to mind is this headboard hard? am i a lap behind?
    A augmentedA              Amaj7Amaj7 D MajorD    E MajorE
But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself
    A augmentedA             Amaj7Amaj7     D MajorD              E MajorE
Is the kind of fate i never contemplate lots of people would cry though none spring to mind

E7E7      A augmentedA      D MajorD     E MajorE       E7E7
And though i ought to be learning i feel like a veteran
  A augmentedA       D MajorD   E MajorE         B minorBm
Of "oh i like your poetry but I hate your poems"
A augmentedA     D MajorD      E MajorE        E7E7
Calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers
   A augmentedA    D MajorD    E MajorE             B minorBm  A augmentedA
I've turned 21, I've twist, I'm bust and wrong again

D MajorD       Gmaj7Gmaj7        D MajorD               Gmaj7Gmaj7
Know what it's like to sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life?
   Em9Em9         A6sus
Ever stopped to think and found out nothing was there?


SOLO - D MajorD G+G D MajorD (x3) B minorBm E MajorE


         A augmentedA                Amaj7Amaj7 B minorBm    D MajorD
They laugh to see such fun I'm playing blind man's bluff all by myself
      A augmentedA               Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE            B minorBm    D MajorD
And they're chanting a line from a nursery rhyme "ba ba bleary eyes - have you any idea?"


A augmentedA    D MajorD     E MajorE      E7E7
Years of learning i must be a veteran
  A augmentedA       D MajorD      E MajorE      B minorBm
Of "oh i like your poetry but I hate your poems"
    A augmentedA     D MajorD       E MajorE        E7E7
And the calendar's cluttered with days that are numbered
   A augmentedA    D MajorD    E MajorE             B minorBm
I've turned 21, I've twist, I'm bust and wrong again...
