[verse]
A             E                 F#m
if you get out before September
C#m            D              A
remember that I'm still inside
B              E
but I'm dry I'm dry
A             E                  F#m
and you when you try to make a difference
C#m                     D        A
you're so different and then I try
B             E
and just die I die
A                E
she knows that I need
              F#m
you more than I want ya
C#m                   D
but I want ya for all time
A
so I'm I guess on the line.

 [chorus]
D			 A
its all that I can do to sing-these stupid songs to you
D			     A
I give up half  my time just trying-to think up words that rhyme
D                          A    	    F#m
I aint getting any younger but you wouldn't know
G                     E
so its on with the show

 [verse]

A            E                 F#m
Some times a smoke a drink and a ponder
            C#m                D
can work wonders when you're down
            A             B     E
takes your frown turns it round around
A             E                  F#m
and you when you try to make a difference
C#m                     D        A
you're no different than when I try
B              E
and just die I die
A                     E         F#m
and now that your day dream is forgotten
C#m                       D
and forgiven and the world
A
has been saved be brave

 [chorus]

D                        A
its all that I can do to sing these stupid songs to you
D                      A
I give up half my time just trying to think up words that rhyme
D                          A                F#m
I aint getting any younger but you wouldn't know
G              F#m
cos i wooo...on't live in your shadow
G 		F#m
and i never ever ever really showed my face
G
but i'm only ever see in the right place
