Tom: A
Am
Mr Sketchy, I'll see you later
Dm
Glad you let me put this on paper
G
You creep through my soul once more
Am
It creeps when I go door to door to door
Am
Mr Blackthumb, who plays the upstrum
Dm
He is Wilson, bashed up the big drum
G
He's flaking, alienating
Am
And taking, commiserating
Pre-Chorus
C
E
Lay me down
F
F#m
Playing the clown
G
E
Coz I'm not mad
Am
All this roughed up sleeping
Dm
and it's time
G
I tried to close my eyes
Am
G
Which now don't half look like mine
Am
And I've been up self seeking
Dm
but it's time
G
I tried to close my eyes
Am
G
so I can see myself shine
Verse
Am
Chill me out, this place is clinical
Dm
an energy vampire sucking on me
G
All the things I do when I'm alone
Am
I think I'm crazy on my own
Am
Walk around, back and forth
Dm
go up and down, south then north
G
Ring-a-ding-ding-phone it makes me shiver
Am
I exercise my face in the mirror
Pre-Chorus
C
E
Lay me down
F
F#m
Playing the clown
G
E
Coz I'm not mad
Am
All this roughed up sleeping
Dm
and it's time
G
I tried to close my eyes
Am
G
Which now don't half look like mine
Am
And I've been up self seeking
Dm
but it's time
G
I tried to close my eyes
Am
G
so I can see myself shine
Bridge
Am
It's here,
Dm
a bitter blues it sits here
G
I got no idea how it got here
Am
like stonehenge, stonehenge and the sun
Am
I took 'em, I took 'em and I never felt better
Dm
What about the time
when you said I was a traitor
G
Am
I gave my last rolo to you
So
C
E
Lay me down
F
F#m
Playing the clown
G
E
Coz I'm not mad
Am
All this roughed up sleeping
Dm
and it's time
G
I tried to close my eyes
Am
G
Which now don't half look like mine
Am
And I've been up self seeking
Dm
but it's time
G
I tried to close my eyes
Am
G
so I can see myself shine
