        I got a scent on you,      I got something here to show,
C#m7b5                           Am7    Am7(type2)
        It's somebody's slice of life,
E7sus4                         D6
        I had it tailor made,      I had it soaken,
           C#m7b5                            Am7           Am7(type2)
Shaken and...     shown around the world! |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  / |

        And of all these things you tell me,       I can't quite believe,
Bbsus2                                      Asus2     F
        You are still there, and I'm still trying...    to be somebody!

        Always on the upkeep,      always trying to reach the rest of us,
D6                                    C#m7b5                 Am7
    We don't have... anything to say, nothing to give, well, life, it blows away,
E7sus4                         G6
        I have another chance,     I may have two lives,
        D6
But my...   both my lives will be... brief lives,
          C#m7b5               Am7
And then,        you all will wonder why!

        I was only sixteen years old, you were only seventeen,

        Life isn't so complicated, but then life isn't 'sposed to be!

         Could somebody tell them, to hurry on, hurry on down,
               Cm9(no5)      B7b9

I have more than this!

And if...       Mr. Chaste,         he has a past,
