(It can be nice during the F G Am changes to use a Fmaj7 instead of a normal F)
You are watching a programme for exactly an hour
All of these hours they will add up to a day
You will sit there till they re done now there are 24 to play
And there are rims around your eyelballs by the 7th or the 8th
But if you go to sleep tonight you will be older when you wake
And you say one man is the parachute and the other is the knife that cuts
the brakes
First we were born then we ran slowly out of luck
You are still not Charles Bukowski and i am not Diane Cluck
And i would suck the life from you if there was any left to suck
And i would love you if you told me there was something there to love
I would marry you for money
I would marry you for money
I would marry you for money if it stuck
I would marry you for money but i don t suppose you ll ever have enough
Man on the screen he has done more in a minute
Than you have achieved in your whole entire life
When you finally realise i was the best thing you had init
We ll be closing up your eyelids on the bed on which you die
And i ll be sorry if it happens to you
Sorry if it happens to you
Sorry if it happens to you but
They say one life is the cancer and another is the blade that
makes the cut
24 for every year that we have slipped
Day by day into the neck of the abyss
And i am 24 today i don t believe i ll sit
Through another year of this while you are sewing up your lips
And i ll be sorry that you happened to me
Sorry that you happened to me
Sorry that you happened to me but
They say that one man is the accident the other is the hand that stops the
blood
And i am looking for the other one, for the hand to stop the blood
