Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse
1):
I know there's a party out there,
Somewhere for crashers and burners to let down their hair,
The red eye reduction is failing production,
There's smoke shadows everywhere.
I could go along for a while,
And talk to my friends and their friends and their friends and that smile,
It's not that I'm better, or cooler, or clever,
In fact I'm a geek without style.
Chorus
The ashtrays are empty, there's shandies aplenty,
I wish I was more rock and roll.
But my eyes are adrift as my mind wanders off,
Into visions of blankets and coal.
The sun sets for reasons it's tired and it's pleasing itself,
What an ideal life.
I may look the part but I know in my heart,
That I'd rather be home with the wife.
Verse
2):
The girls hang on necks of the boys,
The boys act all coy with their beer and their cigarettes of joy,
It takes me way back to a time when I'd stay when I'm young,
And that was just yesterday.
There's nothing wrong with the affair,
It's just that my hair is all tangled in need of repair,
I may get some glasses and sell backstage passes
To those who can deal with the noise.
Chorus
Bridge
La la la lai la lai, la la lai lai la lai,
La la la lai la lai, la la lai lai la lai.
La la la lai la lai, la la lai lai la lai,
La la la lai la lai,
Chorus
Oh I may look the part but I know in my heart
That I'd rather be home with the wife.
Bridge
La la la lai lai lai, la la lai, la la lai lai, la la la lai lai,
La la lai lai lai lai,
Chorus
Oh I may look the part but I know in my heart
That I'd rather be home with the wife. x3
