  			     Dm                          A   
If I give up the seat I've been saving 
        Dm              Bb 
To some elderly lady or man 
      C 
Am I being a good boy 
            C7       F 
Am I your pride and joy 
        Bb             Eb           F 
Mother please if your pleased say I am 
 
 
        Dm                        A 
And if while in the course of my duty 
      Dm                  Bb  
I perform an unfortunate take 
           C 
Would you punish me so, 
     C7       F 
unbelievably so 
        Bb          Eb           F  
Never again will I make that mistake  
 
 
     Bbsus4                  F7 
This feeling inside me could never deny me 
                            Bb                    
The right to be wrong if I choose 
          Bbm  
And this pleasure I get 
          F 
>From say winning a bet 
       Eb          F 
Is to lose 
 
 
          Dm                     A 
When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy 
        Dm                    Bb  
Eating more than enough apple pies 
         C                          C7         F 
Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings 
           Bb 
Starve to death 
          Eb         F 
Right in front of my eyes 
 
 
        Dm                         A7 
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured 
        Dm               Dm7          Bb 
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost 
         C                         C7           F   
Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth 
        Bb                        C  
Nothing older than time nothing sweeter than wine 
          A          A7         Dm          Dm7 
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind 
        Bb 
Nothing I couldn't say 
         Gm         C7 
Nothing why 'cos today 
          F 
Nothing rhymed
