Cm Bb
I was choking on a cornflake
Gm Ab
You said "Have some toast instead”
Cm Bb
I was sleeping maybe three hours
Gm Ab
You said "You should get to bed”
Cm Bb
I was waiting at the church door\
Gm Ab
For the minister to show
Cm Bb
I was looking at the new year
Gm Ab Gm Fm
You said "Walk before you crawl”
Cm Bb
I was feeling like a loser
Gm Ab
You said "Hey, you’ve still got me”
Cm Bb
I was feeling pretty lonely
Gm Ab
You said "You wanted to be free”
Cm Bb
I was looking for a good time
Gm Ab
You said "Let the good times start”
Cm Bb
With a quiver of your eyelid
Gm Ab
You took on someone else’s part
Eb
But what about me
Ab Eb
I don’t really see
Ab Eb
How things will improve
Ab
If all you want is to stay
Cm Bb
Maybe I’m a little greedy
Gm Ab
You said "Think before you speak”
Cm Bb
Sometimes I’m a little seedy
Gm Ab
You said "Everyone is weak”
Cm Bb
Now I feel a little better
Gm Ab
Is there something I can do?
Cm Bb
But I never heard the answer
Gm Ab
I never had a clue
Eb
But what about me
Ab Eb
I don’t really see
Ab Eb
How things will improve
Ab
If all you want is to stay
Fm
The lights are out
Gm
In the house tonight
Ab
And I creep around
Eb Bb
And I’m creeping to your head
Ab Cm
All you wanted to stay loose.
Cm Bb
There’s a little echo calling
Gm Ab
Like a miner trapped inside
Cm Bb
If I tell her of this moment
Gm Ab
She will in me doubts confide
Cm Bb
And she’s on me like a blanket
Gm Ab
Like a stalk of wilting grass
Cm Bb
I’m not sure about her motives
Gm Ab Gm Fm
I’m not sure about her past
Cm Bb
But my faith is like a bullet
Gm Ab
My belief is like a bolt
Cm Bb
The only thing that lets me sleep at night
Gm Ab
A little carriage of the soul
Cm Bb
If it starts a little bleaker
Gm Ab
Then the year may yet be gold
Cm Bb
Happiness is not for keeping
Gm Ab
Happiness is not my goal
Eb
So what about me
Ab Eb
I don’t really see
Ab Eb
How things will improve
Ab Eb
If all you want is to stay loose
Ab Eb
But what about them
Ab Eb
You play mother hen
Ab Eb
To a gaggle of gangling youth
Ab
If all you want is to stay
Fm
The lights are out
Gm
In the house tonight
Ab
And I creep around
Eb Bb
And I’m creeping to your head
Ab
All you wanted to stay
Cm Gm
I was living through the second
Ab Eb
My composure was a mess
Fm Cm
I was miles from tenderness
Ab Gm Bb
It was dark outside, the day it was lying in pieces
Cm Gm
Everything is flat and dreary
Ab Eb
I couldn’t care what’s in the news
Fm Cm
Television is the blues
Ab Gm Bb
Television is hysterical laughter of people
Ab Bb
And I know it could be me
Cm Bb Ab Gm
I’m always asking for more, more, more, more
Ab Eb
I keep running round in circles
Ab Eb
I keep looking for a doorway
Ab
I’m going to need two lives
Ab Gm Bb
To follow the paths I’ve been taking
