Intro:   G    Em    C    A(2X)
DOnly a misdiFrected dart Cat an unprotected Dheart
I'm sure it Fhappens every Gday
DJust a passing Finterlude, Ca fresh face to Dchange the mood
I'll find my Ffeet again you Gsay
A7What rock I had you rolled
What rock I had you rolled aDway
But I live as best I can, meet the uninhabited man
Please read the sign and walk away
What an old dry shell I am the uninhabited man
I'll find my feet again you say
No doubt they'll pull me down
No doubt they'll pull me down someday
Chorus:
BbWho's been sleeping in my bed, who's been sleeping in my bedD  
BbWho's been sitting in my chair, who's been licking in my bowl
                           G     DIntro
Who's been sleeping in my bed
A romantic ruin am I, funny how I catch the eye
The vacuum slowly sucks you in
I'm left no skill, no art, to meet you heart to heart
You'll find no me beneath the skin
And if there's no me then there's no
And if there's no me then there's no sin
Chorus
