Intro
Fmaj7 D
Verse
        Fmaj7           D Dsus4 D
Call me morbid, call me pale
        Fmaj7                D Dsus4 D
I've spent six years on your trail
Am  G6/D F
Six long years
        D     G
On your trail
        Fmaj7           D Dsus4 D
Call me morbid, call me pale
        Fmaj7                D Dsus4 D
I've spent six years on your trail
Am        G6/D        F             D     G
Six full years of my life on your trail
Chorus
           E                     F  C  G
And if you have five seconds to spare
           E                     F  Fsus4  F
Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
 C                  G
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
E                      Am  F
I went to London and I
  C                       G     Em  E
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
         Fmaj7                   D Dsus4 D
I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?
  Fmaj7                D Dsus4 D
I like it here - can I stay ?
Am           G6/D   F
Do you have a vacancy
                D     G
For a Back-scrubber?"
Verse
         Fmaj7            D Dsus4 D
She was left behind, and sour
         Fmaj7               D Dsus4 D
And she wrote to me, equally dour
                   Am
She said : "In the days when you were
G6/D       F
Hopelessly poor
                         D   G
I just liked you more..."
Chorus
           E                     F  C  G
And if you have five seconds to spare
           E                     F  Fsus4  F
Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
 C                  G
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
E                      Am  F
I went to London and I
  C                       G     Em  E
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
         Fmaj7                   D Dsus4 D
I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?
  Fmaj7                D Dsus4 D
I like it here - can I stay ?
Am           G6/D   F
Do you have a vacancy
                D     G
For a Back-scrubber?"
Verse
        Fmaj7              D Dsus4 D
Call me morbid, call me pale
           Fmaj7                D Dsus4 D
I've spent too long on your trail
Am  G6/D F
Far too long
             D
Chasing your tail
G
Oh ...
Chorus/Outro
           E                        F  C  G
And if you have five seconds to spare
           E                        F  Fsus4  F
Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
C                   G
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
           E             Am  F
That's the story of my life
C                   G
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
     Em         E
The story of my life
Fmaj7       D Dsus4 D
That's the story of my life
Fmaj7       D Dsus4 D
That's the story of my life
Fmaj7       D Dsus4 D
That's the story of my life
Fmaj7       D Dsus4 D
That's the story of my life
Fmaj7       D Dsus4 D
That's the story of my life
