Verse
Gm Dm
She said to me, "Go steady on me.
F C
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said?
Gm
When they came down from Heaven,
Dm
Smoked nine 'til seven,
F C
All the shit that they could find,
Gm
But they couldn't escape from you,
Dm
Couldn't be free of you,
F C
And now they know there's no way out,
PRE-Chorus
(Strummed)
A#
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
C
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."
CHORUS
(Strummed)
Cm D#
Look who's alone now,
A# F
It's not me. It's not me.
Cm D#
Those three Wise Men,
A# F
They've got a semi by the sea.
Cm G#
Got to ask yourself the question,
A# F
Where are you now?
VERSE
(Arpreggioed)
Gm
Really sorry now,
Dm
They weren't to know.
F C
They got caught up in your talent show,
Gm Dm
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress,
F C
Who just judge each other and try to impress,
Gm
But they couldn't escape from you,
Dm
Couldn't be free of you,
F C
And now they know there's no way out,
PRE_CHORUS
(STrummed)
A#
And they're really sorry now for what they've done,
C
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun."
CHORUS
(Strummed)
Cm D#

A# F
It's not me. It's not me.
