(It can be nice during the F G Am changes to use a Fmaj7 instead of a normal F)
You are waAmtching a programme foAm/Br exaFctly an hourC  
All of these hours they will aGdd up to a day
You will Amsit there till they're done now there are F24 to play
And there are Crims around your eyelballs by the G7th or the 8th
But if you gFo to sleep tonight you will be oGlder when you Amwake
And you say Fone man is the parachute and the oGther is the knife that cuts 
the brAmakes
AmFirst we were born then wAm/Be ran sFlowly out of luck
You aCre still not Charles Bukowski and I am Gnot Diane Cluck  
And i would sAmuck the life from you if there was any leFft to suck
And i would Clove you if you told me there was sGomething there to love
I would Fmarry you for money
I would Gmarry you for money
I would Cmarry you for Gmoney if it Amstuck
I would Fmarry you for money but I don't Gsuppose you'll ever have Amenough
MAman on the screen he has Am/Bdone Fmore in a minute

When you Amfinally realise I was the best Fthing you had init
We'll be cClosing up your eyelids on the bGed on which you die
