                         A                              E
Christ you know it ain?t easy, you know how hard it can be                        
                   B7                             E
The way things are going,   they?re gonna crucify me.

Honeymooning down by the Seine

BRIDGE
A
Saving all your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said oh boy when you?re dead
      B7
You don?t take nothing with you but your soul..

B7

Eating chocolate cake in a bag

They look just like two gurus in drag?

The way things are going,   they?re gonna crucify me.

Fifty acorns tied in a sack

It's good to have the both of you back"
