Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

Verse

Oh, to get ahead in this world

Takes a lot of kind words

And ruthless damning actions

And I hope I never have to hurt you

Though I gladly will do my friend

Chorus

And I'll be reading in the kitchen

 Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be

Brooding in my bedroom with the

Shutters down on me

 And this song is not cathartic

 Because I've done nothing wrong

 It's just a song, it's just a song

Interlude

break/riff:

same as intro

Verse 2

Ah, you see the more you're trying

The more I know you're lying

The more I start to hate the sight of you

Well tell me what would you do?

Pulled by both arms, nearly torn in two

Chorus

And I'll be reading in the kitchen

 Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be

Brooding in my bedroom with the

Shutters down on me

 And this song is not cathartic

 Because I've done nothing wrong

 It's just a song, it's just a song

Interlude 2

same as interlude 1

break/riff:

same as intro, then

Chorus

And I'll be reading in the kitchen

 Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be

Brooding in my bedroom with the

Shutters down on me

 And this song is not cathartic

 Because I've done nothing wrong

 It's just a song, it's just a song

 It's just a song, it's just a song
