Verse 1

A5                           D5
Think me and you could maybe use a lost weekend
A5                    C5
I've been losing all my friends
A5                   D5
I wave another empty bottle in your face,
A5                  C5
Like I'm hitting it hard
              A5
But it's just pretend
                 D5
'cos you know I'm not
C5                           G5
   I wouldn't know where to start
     G/f#       A5
I've been there before
               D5
I went and got lost,
           C5                          G5            G/f#
Always the back end of this pantomime horse


Verse 2

A5                              D5
All we seem to do these days is wave our arms and yell
A5                  C5
   Other people are hell
A5                                   D5
And what's that song you're singing, everybody hurts?
A5              C5
  And everybody lies,
               A5
Don't wanna remember,
            D5
too many regrets
C5               G5
     And no cigarettes
     G/f#      A5
'cos I'm not a smoker,
             D5
But I said I was
         C5                         G5
And the elevator stuck between the floors
   G/f#       A5
Is getting to me
               D5
Don't let him forsake you
C5                              G5
Rack 'em up and knock 'em down again
       G/f#       A5
You're changing direction
                    D5
I won't know where I was
    C5                         G5
The back end of the pantomime horse
   G/f#       A5
Is getting to me

Chorus

A5        G5
Ooooooooh delay              (lyrics? possibly odelay)
C5          G5         A5
Maestro, a drum roll please
A5                 D5 strum once
This is the golden age

E-------2--3--------

Verse 3

A5                D5
Staring down the corners of the room
A5              C5
Another nowhere town
A5                        D5
When everything I sing is in a minor key
A5                 C5
I have to write it down,
             A5
Or I won't remember
                 D5
Then I'll get it wrong
C5                              G5
                This isn't the song,
             G/f#        A5
I'm thinking I'm not the singer
                 D5
That I thought I was
       C5                     G5
In the solitude before the applause
   G/f#       A5
Is getting to me

Chorus

A5           G5
Ooooooooooh delay
C5         G5         A5
Maestro a drum roll please
A5                 D5 strum once
This is the golden age

E------2--3----------

Outro

A5      D5       C5       G5 strum once

The alternative C chord sounds a bit more like the recording I think, I may
be completely wrong.
