   So I’m walking down the road and heading towards me 

Is somebody I know, but not like a brother 

He’s seen me, and we both realise 

That we’re going to have to put into operation the tricky manoeuvre that is 

Acknowledgment without breaking stride. 


Em 
So I keep my eyes fixed firmly on the ground,  ‘til I get within ten or so feet away 

With a nod of the head and a timely hello I can carry on walking, don’t wanna get talking 

Rule number one – carry on walking and anyway I don’t know his name. 
                                                                               G D Em  G D  C 
And if I were to guess I’d guess it all wrong and I’d be there for a long time. 


         G                   F 
How’s it going, where’re you living 
       Bb                C 
Do you still see much of Steve? 
        G                F 
Are you married, are you working 
       Bb                 G       C D G  C D G  C D Em 
Do you still drink in the Swan?

Inside back page, Radio Times “My kind of day” with the actors and actresses 

I get up about six, and I have a cold shower, switch on “Today”, Vitamin C 

Write some letters ‘til quarter past eight when Olivia takes Oliver to school. 

It’s about an hour’s drive to Shepperton from ours 


Em 
So I go through the scripts in the back of the car 

And if I get hungry I’ll eat a Multigrain Bar. 

Weekends are good we can walk the South Downs as a family 

But of course what most people never realise 

Is that us poor actors are out of work 
                               G D  Em  G D C 
For ninety percent of the time. 


        G                  F 
Yes, of course I must have missed you 
       Bb             C 
At the Job Club yesterday 
      G                F             Bb                    G       G F Bb C  G C Bb G  Em 
Maybe you were signing on or finding out about free school meals.

Gary doesn’t live here anymore, Gary doesn’t live here anymore

Gary doesn’t live here anymore, Gary took a dive from the second floor.
