[Verse 1]
Bm7Met a girl - introdDuced myself
                       A   E(repeat chords)
I asked her to with me and no one else
And she said: I'd really like to see you everyday
But I'm afraid of what my friends might say
You need a bath and your clothes are wrong
You're not my type I can tell we wouldn't get along
I just laughed what else could I do
And her friend chimed in singin' get a clue
[Bridge]
Bm7Get a life - put it F#7sus4in your song
[Chorus]
EThere's something I've been meaning to Eadd#11say to  E5you
EI've run out of gas and I'm Eadd#11stuck like E5glue
[Verse 2]
Bm7I'd had enough couldn't take it aDnymore
ASo I turned and I ran straight for the Edoor
Bought some mags on my way home
For later on ya know when I'm all alone
Bottle of wine and some cigarettes
A racing form, maybe, maybe I'll make some bets
I know a guy lives in Los Angeles
Sometimes his life there makes me so jealous
I'd like to move out of this place
Change my name - get a new face
[Bridge]
Bm7Get a life, put it F#7sus4in my song
[Chorus]
EThere's something I've been meaning to Eadd#11say to  E5you
EI've run out of gas and I'm Eadd#11stuck like E5glue
[Outro]
I'd like to move out of this place
Change my name maybe get a new face
Sleep all day stay up all night, yeah
Everybody I meet thinks I'm alright
Get a life...
