Verse 1

A minorAm              D MajorD
Think me and you could maybe use a lost weekend
A minorAm          C majorC
I've been losing all my friends
A minorAm          D MajorD
I wave another empty bottle in your face,
A minorAm         C majorC
Like I'm hitting it hard
       A minorAm
But it's just pretend
         D MajorD
'cos you know I'm not
C majorC              G+G
  I wouldn't know where to start
   G/f#    A minorAm
I've been there before
        D MajorD
I went and got lost,
      C majorC             G+G      G/f#
Always the back end of this pantomime horse


Verse 2

A minorAm               D MajorD
All we seem to do these days is wave our arms and yell
A minorAm         C majorC
  Other people are hell
A minorAm                  D MajorD
And what's that song you're singing, everybody hurts?
A minorAm       C majorC
 And everybody lies,
        A minorAm
Don't wanna remember,
      D MajorD
too many regrets
C majorC        G+G
   And no cigarettes
   G/f#   A minorAm
'cos I'm not a smoker,
       D MajorD
But I said I was
     C majorC             G+G
And the elevator stuck between the floors
  G/f#    A minorAm
Is getting to me
        D MajorD
Don't let him forsake you
C majorC               G+G
Rack 'em up and knock 'em down again
    G/f#    A minorAm
You're changing direction
          D MajorD
I won't know where I was
  C majorC             G+G
The back end of the pantomime horse
  G/f#    A minorAm
Is getting to me

Chorus

A minorAm    G+G
Ooooooooh delay       (lyrics? possibly odelay)
C majorC     G+G     A minorAm
Maestro, a drum roll please
A minorAm         D MajorD strum once
This is the golden age

E-------2--3--------

Verse 3

A minorAm        D MajorD
Staring down the corners of the room
A minorAm       C majorC
Another nowhere town
A minorAm            D MajorD
When everything I sing is in a minor key
A minorAm         C majorC
I have to write it down,
       A minorAm
Or I won't remember
         D MajorD
Then I'll get it wrong
C majorC               G+G
        This isn't the song,
       G/f#    A minorAm
I'm thinking I'm not the singer
         D MajorD
That I thought I was
    C majorC           G+G
In the solitude before the applause
  G/f#    A minorAm
Is getting to me

Chorus

A minorAm      G+G
Ooooooooooh delay
C majorC     G+G     A minorAm
Maestro a drum roll please
A minorAm         D MajorD strum once
This is the golden age

E------2--3----------

Outro

|A minorAm   |D MajorD    |C majorC    |G+G strum once
