(Verse 1)
               A5 A5 A5
I don't want to be second best
E5      G5     A5   A5 A5 E5 G5
Don't want to stand in line
E5      G5   A5 A5 A5
Don't want to fall behind


E5      G5   A5 A5 A5

A5            D5   
Don't want to get caught out
            D5  
Don't want to do without


A5 A5 A5 E5 G5       A5 A5 A5

A5      F5               G5    
And the lesson I must learn
           E5          A5 A5 A5
Is that I've got to wait my turn


E5      G5   A5 A5 A5

E5      G5   A5 A5 A5

E5      G5   A5 A5 A5


(Verse 2) - repeat Verse1

Looks like I got to be hot and cold

I got to be taught and told

Got to be good as gold

But perfectly honest

I think it would be good for me

Coz it's a hindrance to my health

I'm a stranger to myself

(Chorus)
D5                  A5            A5 A5 D5
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
             A5 A5 A5
Bring me to my knees
       F5
Well I must be my own master
     G5     E5           A5 A5  E5
Or a miniature disaster will be

It will be the death of me

(Verse 3) - repeat Verse1

I don't have to raise my voice

Don't have to be underhand

Just got to understand

That it's gonna be up and down

It's gonna be lost and found

And I can't take to the sky

Before I like it on the ground

(Bridge)
      F5  
And i need to be patient
      G5
And i need to be brave
E5
Need to discover
      A5        A5
How i need to behave
       F5
And I'll find out the answers
       G5          E5
When i know what to ask
      A5            
But i speak a different language
            E5
And everybody's talking too fast


(Chorus) - repeat Chorus
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees
Well I must be my own master
I've got to run a little faster
I need to know I'll last if a little
Miniature disaster hits me
It could be the death of me
