Obscurity Knocks

INTRO:  A

A (x02220@1)                                    BmAlways (x24432@1)at the foot of the photograph - that's me there
                    ASnug (x02220@1)as a thug in a mugshot pose
BmOwner (x24432@1)of this corner and not much more
           A (x02220@1)                    D (xx0232@1)               EStill (022100@1)these days I'm better placed to get my just rewards
            AI'll (x02220@1)pound out a tune and very soon
           D (xx0232@1)                          EI'll (022100@1)have too much to say and a dead stupid name

CHORUS
          A (x02220@1)                     EThough (022100@1)I ought to be learning I feel like a veteran
     A (x02220@1)                    EOf (022100@1)"Oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems"
A (x02220@1)                    ECalendars (022100@1)crumble I'm knee deep in numbers
A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)                        ATurned (x02220@1)21, I've twist, I'm bust and wrong again


Rubbing shoulders with the sheets till two
Looking at my watch and I'm half-past caring
In the lap of luxury it comes to mind
Is this headboard hard? Am I a lap behind?
But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself
Is the kind of fate I never contemplate
Lots of people would cry though none spring to mind

DKnow (xx0232@1)what it's like
To sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life?
Bm (x24432@1)                         DEvery (xx0232@1)stopped to think and found out nothing was there?

E (022100@1)                     AThey (x02220@1)laugh to see such fun
                           Bm (x24432@1)         DPlaying (xx0232@1)Blind Man's Bluff all by myself
AAnd (x02220@1)they're chanting a line from a nursery rhyme
E (022100@1)                        D"Ba (xx0232@1)Ba Bleary Eyes - Have you any idea?"

A (x02220@1)                  E (022100@1)       A (x02220@1)             EThe (022100@1)calendar's cluttered with days that are numbered
