(don't quote me on the lyrics. but i think they're right.)
Intro:  G  
There'Gs so much time for hoEm7lding hDands,
When you're Gsleeping with your Em7man, in the grDound,
So while we're Cawake lets keep Em7joking,
While we're Cawake we're sleep Em7walking,
When we're aCwake the more i Glearn about Dyou,
There'Gs so much time for Em7lying aDround,
When you're Gsleeping with your mEm7an, in the gDround,
So while we're Cawake lets keep sEm7inging,
While we're Cawake keep the telephone rEm7inging,
When we're aCwake the more i lGearn about Dyou,
The MEm7agic, that is yGou.
The MEm7agic, that is yGou.
Like others, a mGemory box abEm7ove your mothers Dbed,
Inside she wGrote the first words thEm7at you ever sDaid,
I got my whole lCife here in the tEm7ime i'm smoking on,
bCack of news i have a fEm7un time, y'know a Gsick and dying wDhale,
this is the stGory of our tDale,
this is the Amstory of our tCale,
  Am   C   (instrumental bit with no guitar)
I got my whole Clife here in the tEm7ime i'm smoking on,
Cback of news i have a fEm7un time, y'know a sGick and dying Dwhale,
this is the stGory of our tDale, 
you're not a Amsick and dying wChale,Am
