D5                          A5   
If I give up the seat I've been saving 
        D5              Bb5 
To some elderly lady or man 
      C5 
Am I being a good boy 
            C5       F5 
Am I your pride and joy 
        Bb5             Eb5           F5 
Mother please if your pleased say I am 
 
 
        D5                        A5 
And if while in the course of my duty 
      D5                  Bb5  
I perform an unfortunate take 
           C5 
Would you punish me so, 
     C5       F5 
unbelievably so 
        Bb5          Eb5           F5  
Never again will I make that mistake  
 
 
     Bb5                  F5 
This feeling inside me could never deny me 
                            Bb5                    
The right to be wrong if I choose 
          Bb5  
And this pleasure I get 
          F5 
>From say winning a bet 
       Eb5          F5 
Is to lose 
 
 
          D5                     A5 
When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy 
        D5                    Bb5  
Eating more than enough apple pies 
         C5                          C5         F5 
Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings 
           Bb5 
Starve to death 
          Eb5         F5 
Right in front of my eyes 
 
 
        D5                         A5 
Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured 
        D5               D5          Bb5 
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost 
         C5                         C5           F5   
Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth 
        Bb5                        C5  
Nothing older than time nothing sweeter than wine 
          A5          A5         D5          D5 
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind 
        Bb5 
Nothing I couldn't say 
         G5         C5 
Nothing why 'cos today 
          F5 
Nothing rhymed
