            B                       E      B              E        
 I could be tugging on the beard of science like a cheeky schoolboy
 B                 E        B                            E      
 But I couldn't be bothered, thats why I'm still in the box room
 B                E          B            E  
 Face down in the last ditch, my natural home
 B E B E E B C#m A (x2)
 I can do that but I don't really want to.
       E              B             
 Oh, I used to cajole Gordon Giltrap
   C#m                   A       
 I used to think that it mattered
         E                B        
 But the low drone of the treadmill
 C#m A B E B E (x2)
 Is the sound of my hopes being shattered.
             B                      E          B                   E        
 I should be standing in a chaos of sunflowers, with a girl from Machynlleth
 B                   E              B                   E     
 But I'm down at the children's zoo, kicking off on the goats.
 B          E     B            E  
 Increasing doubt, decreasing hope

 Even my imaginary friend went and changed his mind.

 Oh, I used to cajole Gordon Giltrap
   C#m                   A       
 I used to think that it mattered
         E                B        
 But the low drone of the treadmill
        C#m                     A         
 Is the sound of my hopes being shattered.
       E                 B       
 Oh, I turned my back on Nazareth
   C#m                   A       
 I used to think that it mattered
         E                B        
 But the low drone of the treadmill
 C#m A (B E B E rpt) C#m
 Is the sound of my hopes being shattered.
