Last Verse
       C             D      Em Bm C D
On the day that your mentality 
C                    D    Em Bm C D
Catches up with your biology 

           Am                 Bm 
And if you ever need self-validation
     C                           D
Just meet me in the alley by the railway station 
Am       Bm      C   D
It's all over my face
