INTRO A5 D5 A5 G5 x2

VERSE1
A5                 A5
  I'm sorry I don't hate the world
F5                                  ( G5 )
  I'm afraid that I'm not disturbed
A5                 A5             D5          A5
  I'm sorry that I don't do drugs, I hope you understand
A5                      A5
  I can't talk about my life in hell
     F5                                  ( G5 )
Or a suicide attempt that didn't go well
A5                     A5            D5           A5
  No life of crime, no misery, what you see is what you get

PRE-CHORUS
C5                        D5
  And I don't believe in dwelling on the darker side
             D5                    G5                A5
Cos there's enough bad news on the television every night
C5                             D5
  So I don't need some little punk who's the latest star
D5                  G5
Telling me over and over again
D5                      E5
Life's such a drag when you're in a band

CHORUS
A5                  G5 F5                                     C5
  What is it coming to when everyone's talking through their hat
         G5           G5 E5
And we've heard it all before
A5                       G5 D5             D5
  What happened to honesty? The way that it looks to me
   D5                          G5
Is everybody's in it trying to get somewhere
    D5                  E5
And trying to justify it, preaching from a chair

INTRO (half)

VERSE2 (same chords as above)
Please forgive me if the clothes ain't right
I wouldn't want you hanging with an uncool guy
No flannel shirt and no tattoos, maybe I should grow a beard?
Don't you tell me what I oughta think
Which cigarettes to smoke, and what I oughta drink
Don't judge me by the way I look cos the clothes don't make the man

PRE-CHORUS (same chords as above)
I'm not about to be a slave to a book of rules
Don't wanna spend my life trying to be somebody else
And I'd be wrong to believe in every word that I ever read
You can't fool all the people all of the time
And one man's opinion's another man's lie

CHORUS
The makers of taste will be patronising you and me forever
And it's always been the same
You'll enter the twilight zone if you don't keep your mind your own
I shouldn't let it get to me but I don't care
I can't stomach bullshit, when it's preaching from a chair

F5  G5  F5  G5  A5 G  A5

VERSE3 (same chords as above)
I'm sorry that I like the sun
I'm sorry to say I don't wanna own a gun
Cos if my number's up well that's alright, sometime we all got to go
So many versions of the world outside
Reality is getting hard to find
So many people with an axe to grind
It's hard to know who to believe

PRE-CHORUS
C5                             D5
  Don't lecture me, until you know what the truth is
            D5                          G5                  A5
Well take a good look inside before you criticise everyone else
C5                      D5
  Your jealousy ain't enough of a reason, babe
   D5                       G5
To justify telling me where I went wrong
   D5                G5
So don't try to do it
    D5                          G5
Cos all you ever do is sing the same old song
    D5              E5
And no one wants to hear
