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

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

Could somebody tell them, to hurry on, hurry on down,
Cm9(no5) B7b9
Could somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on!

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