Intro : G C Am D G G
G C
Well the walls too wet to sit on
Am G
And there's a curtain right over my head
C
Stomp my feet waiting for a bus
Am D G
But decided to walk instead
G C
And the American saxophone follows me
Am D
All the way from the teller
G
to the public house
C
My fingers are always in my ears
Am D G
But the reads always in the mouth
G C
And if you ever cross your heart and hope to die
Am G
Voices in your head saying you must cry
C Am D
Then there's more to you than meets the eye
G C
But if you go about your business with a capital 'B'
Am G
It is sure to catch you up with a capital 'C'
C Am D
And then you will be in debt with a capital 'T'{'A'/'B'}
G
Just step outside
G C
Well we could stop for a conversation
Am D G
If we could think of anything to say
G C
But you know you've got nothing to talk about
Am D G
When nothing happened yesterday
G C
And if I ever committed a murder
Am D G
Well I think I'd go about this way
G C
Never mind a rope or a dagger and cloak
Am D G
I could spend a week on this estate
Repeat chorus
G C
What are you doing tomorrow
Am D
And the day after and the day after that
G C
I've some money to spend I can borrow
Am D G
I've become a man I admire
