[Verse 1]
E7sus4                         D6
        I got a scent on you,      I got something here to show,
C#m7-5                           Am7    Am7 *
        It's somebody's slice of life,
E7sus4                         D6
        I had it tailor made,      I had it soaken,
           C#m7-5                            Am7           Am7 *
Shaken and...     shown around the world! |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  / |

        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
    We don't have... anything to say,
 C#m7-5                 Am7
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#m7-5               Am7
And then,        you all will wonder why!


[Verse 3]

        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,

        Every censor,      everybody loses their way,
          D6                         C#m7-5              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#m7-5
I have his wife in the background, but I have more than this,

I have more than this!
