Em Em(maj7)
Haven't done quite as well as I thought I would,
Em7 Em6/C# C/G B7
I'm not dead, but I'm... damaged goods, and it's getting late,
Em Em(maj7)
I'm a rusty hinge, a squeeky wheel,
Em7 Em6/C# C/G B7
At the... bad end of a shaky deal, cursed by the hand of fate,
Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em6/C# C/G B7
And.. a - ooo-----,ooo-----, ooo-----, woh - oh, I'm a very lucky girl,
Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em6/C#
Yeah... a - ooo-----,ooo-----, ooo-----, ooo-----,
C/G B7 Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em6/C#
Hel - lo, cruel world! | / / / / |
Em Em(maj7)
I'm a ticking clock, a losing bet,
Em7 Em6/C# C/G B7
I'm a... girl without a safety net, I'm a cause for some con - cern,
Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em6/C#
Don't live this long with - out regrets, telephone calls you don't wanna get,
C/G B7
Stones you'd rather leave... unturned,

But... a - ooo-----,ooo-----, ooo-----, woh - oh,

The grain of sand becomes the pearl,
Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em6/C#
Yeah... a - ooo-----,ooo-----, ooo-----, ooo-----,

Em Em(maj7)
Some folks go the easy route,
Em7 Em6/C# C/G B7
Numb the pain, and put the lights out, either way, they got to go,
Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em6/C#
Me? I'm gonna stick around, in for a penny, in for a pound,
C/G B7
'Cause I hate to miss the show,
Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em6/C# C/G B7
And.. a - ooo-----, ooo-----, ooo-----, woh - oh, I'm a very stubborn girl,
Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em6/C#
Yeah.. a - ooo-----, ooo-----, ooo-----, woh - oh ,
C/G B7 Em C/G B7 Em
Hel - lo, cruel world! Hel - lo, cruel world!
