E7sus4 D6
I got a scent on you, I got something here to show,
C#m7b5 Am7 Am7(type2)
It's somebody's slice of life,
E7sus4 D6
I had it tailor made, I had it soaken,
C#m7b5 Am7 Am7(type2)
Shaken and... shown around the world! | / / / / | / / / / |
Bbsus2 Asus2
And of all these things you tell me, I can't quite believe,
Bbsus2 Asus2 F
You are still there, and I'm still trying... to be somebody!

E7sus4 G6
Always on the upkeep, always trying to reach the rest of us,
D6 C#m7b5 Am7
We don't have... anything to say, nothing to give, well, life, it blows away,
E7sus4 G6
I have another chance, I may have two lives,
D6
But my... both my lives will be... brief lives,
C#m7b5 Am7
And then, you all will wonder why!
Bbmaj7 Asus2
I was only sixteen years old, you were only seventeen,
Bbsus2 Asus2 F
Life isn't so complicated, but then life isn't 'sposed to be!
E7sus4 G6 D6 C#m7b5 D6
For all------ these years, for all--- these years! | / / / / | / / / / |

Every censor, everybody loses their way,
D6 C#m7b5 Am7
I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share with you,
E7sus4 G6
Every lover, well, they all tell lies,
D6 C#m7b5
I have his wife in the background, but I have more than this,
Am7
I have more than this!
Bbmaj7 Asus2
And if... Mr. Chaste, he has a past,
E7sus4 G6
Give it to me!
