capo on 3
FF G minorGm Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb 
Gm7Gm7 FF
FF G minorGm
I'm feelin' so good right now
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7 FF
There's a handsome boy tells me how I changed his past
G minorGm
He buys me a brandy
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7 FF
Or could it be he's really just after my ass?
G minorGm
He likes the clothes I wear
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7 FF
He says he likes a man to dress in season
G minorGm Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
But no one else ever stares, he's being so kind
Gm7Gm7 C-->
What's the reason?
[chorus]
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF
How many friends have I really got?
G+G
You can count 'em on one hand
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF G+G
How many friends have I really got?
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF
How many friends have I really got?
Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb 
F/AF/A G minorGm Gm7Gm7 C majorC
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
Suddenly it's a silver screen
And a face so beautiful that I have to cry out
Everybody hears me
Well, I look like a fool, now, if I try and I shy out
She knows all of my friends
But it's nice to find a woman who'll stay on late
But now I think I've reached the end
I wonder in the dead of night, how do I rate?
[repeat chorus]
C minorCm 
Cm/BbCm/Bb
It's all like a dream you know
Bb majorBb FF
When you're still up early in the morning
G minorGm FF Eb MajorEb
And you all sit together to watch the sun come through
C minorCm Cm/BbCm/Bb
But things don't look so good
AbAb
When you could use a bit of warning
F minorFm 
C/GC/G G+G
Then you know that no one will ever speak the truth about you.
[repeat chorus]
When I first signed the contract, it was more than a handshake then
I know it still is, but there's a plain fact
We talk so much shit behind each other's backs, I get the willies
People know nothing about their own soft guts
So how come they can sum us up
Without suffering all the hype we've known
How come they bum us up
[repeat chorus]

Ain't it funny how they're all Cleopatra
As you gaze into their past
When you find out about their birth sign
You realize there was no need to have asked
All the history of a soul in torment
Ingrained in a hand or face
Ain't it funny how they all fire the pistol
At the wrong end of the race

Going round and round
There's a man going through your dustbin
Only this time he's looking for food
There's a tear in his eye you don't know him
Oh, but you know what he's going through
Is it weird that you can't seem to help him
Feeling sick as he staggers away
Is it weird that you hate a stranger
Can a detail correct your dismay
