NOTE: This was a request for this song to be done in standard tuning.
      On the album version it seems as if he is playing a half step
      down as the chords I have sound a little brighter. As the song
      Lastly, Jamie Webster plays this with a capo on the 3rd fret
      but I left it without a capo. Capo if you want to and transpose
      the chords then.

[Chorus]
The whDeels have fallen off
DIt Ealso signs of endin’
YoEu’ve hAad enough for hours bAut ya Ecarried on pretendin’
EYa shDoes have lost their shine
TDhe cEonvo’s lost it’s pace
ESo nAow you’re in a taxi fAeelin’ fEeelings of disgrace
YouE’ve nDever got no money ’caDuse of aEll the times ya lend
Was it a pAointless three day bender
Or a weEekend in ParadEise, my frAiend?A  A  
[Verse]
The spAring is in his step on Friday afternoon
There’s a fEeelin’ sweepin’ through the air
All the lDads are on the blower, they’ll be finishin’ soon
In your mEind you’re already prepared
I’ll phAone me man for sugar then I’ll phone our kid
‘Cause he’ll cEover it til I get paid
Then you’re oDut with all the firm an’ you’re off ya lid
Only cEonfident, never afraid
The nAight draws to a close and now there’s nowhere to go
Ya tEurn an’ look at one of ya mates
There’s a lDad he know from work and he lives alone
So iDt’s more sEugar an’ a couple o’ crEates
[Break]
F#mWell is it one of F#mthe tiEmes when it’s all wEorthwhDile and you’ve hDad a scEream?
  E  F#mOr is it burning F#myour brDidges at both ends
  DSAame old scene since you were sEeventeen?E  
[Chorus]
N.C.         D  
Ah now the wheels have fallen off
It Ealso signs of endin’
You’ve hAad enough for hours but ya Ecarried on pretendin’
Ya shDoes have lost their shine
The cEonvo’s lost it’s pace
So nAow you’re in a taxi feelin’ fEeelings of disgrace
You’ve nDever got no money ’cDause of aEll the times ya lend
Was it a pAointless three day bender
Or a weEekend in ParadEise, my frAiend?A  A  
[Verse]
SAome can handle it no more
  ASEome’ll do it forevEer
SpEend ya wDeeks walkin‘ round with ya head to the floor
No tEime for the news or the weather
AYa first pint on a Friday,  A  Eya last gin on a SundEay mornin’
And it aDll creeps up on ya in between
No reEasons why, no early warnin’A  
[Break]
F#mWell is it one of the tiEmes when it’s all wEorthwhDile and you’ve hDad a scEream?
TEhat’s alright

[Verse]

The spring is in his step on Friday afternoon

There’s a feelin’ sweepin’ through the air

All the lads are on the blower, they’ll be finishin’ soon

In your mind you’re already prepared

I’ll phone me man for sugar then I’ll phone our kid

‘Cause he’ll cover it til I get paid

Then you’re out with all the firm an’ you’re off ya lid

Only confident, never afraid

The night draws to a close and now there’s nowhere to go

Ya turn an’ look at one of ya mates

There’s a lad he know from work and he lives alone

D E E

So it’s more sugar an’ a couple o’ crates

[Break]

And it all creeps up on ya in between
