My head is too close to the F#7wall
There's blA7ood in my underwear

Don't know how I got it there
Swear I'd C#6bust open my head should I fall
A7        Ad7       C#6 x 4 STOP
  Oh yeah
I know C#6weaker personalities
Cos they're sitting round my house with me
I got an ever loving wife of a F#7sort
Got a boA7ttle for good company
          Ad7
A great drinker and his love could be

Don't stick it where it don't belong
Don't mend what aint broken
It's A7not because I'm strung out on the sF#7auce

I'm still picking up the pieces
Of a world that still increasingly

Likes to know my business what is yours?
------------------------------------------------
There's C#6hate where my liver sits
I got cigarettes to pull to bits
                                        F#7
I don't think too much that's bad for my soul
I've got a bA7ottle and a half to go
      Ad7
Don't ask me where cos I don't know
At C#6all
A7               Ad7     C#6 x 4 STOP
One for the road
E/E7  
Don't stick it where it don't belong etc..
