{Intro} 
A5 / B5  D5  E5  (eight times) 
 
A5 / B5          D5    E5 
Someone had to tell you, 
A5 / B5            D5  E5 
Might as well it be me. 
A5 / B5               D5  E5 
You've been fooling no-one, 
A5 / B5       D5     E5 
If you only could see. 

Do you understand ? 
 
You've got quite a problem , 

Lost your job you know why 

But you can't admit, 

So full of it you might die. 

Do you understand? 

You can't understand 
 

D5  C5  B5 

A5  G5  F#5 

E5  D5  Db5  A5 

               A5 / B5           D5  E5 
Just keep your head in the sand. 

Yeah 
 
Teenage alcoholic 

Grew too old to be fun. 

Just another loser 

Ain't no use to no-one. 

You can't understand. 

You can't understand. 
 
Give yourself excuses, 

Just as boozers all do. 

Why invent a reason ? 

No-one sees it like you 

Do you understand? 

Do you understand? 
 
You've got your head in the sand 

Your head in the sand 

Head in the sand 
 

A5 / B5  (four times) 

B5 / C#5  E5  F#5  (12 times) 
(Have another. And another, and another ...) 
A5 / B5         D5   E5 
Everything is hopeless, 
Drink to cope - it don't help. 
What's it take to make you 
Wide awake to yourself? 
To yourself? 
To yourself? 
 
Your head's in the - (buried deep below) 
Your head's in the - (you don't wanna know) 
Your head's in the - (you've got feet of clay) 
Your head's in the - (drink your tears away)
