[Verse 1]
E7sus4                         D6
        I got a scent on you,      I got something here to show,
C#m7-5                           Am7    Am7 *
        It's somebody's slice of life,
E7sus4                         D6
        I had it tailor made,      I had it soaken,
           C#m7-5                            Am7           Am7 *
Shaken and...     shown around the world! |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  / |

[Verse 2]
Bbsus2                                       Asus2
        And of all these things you tell me,       I can't quite believe,
Bbsus2                                      Asus2     F
        You are still there, and I'm still trying...    to be somebody!

[Verse 2]
E7sus4                        G6
        Always on the upkeep,      always trying to reach the rest of us,
D6
    We don't have... anything to say,
 C#m7-5                 Am7
Nothing to give, well, life, it blows away,
E7sus4                         G6
        I have another chance,     I may have two lives,
        D6
But my...   both my lives will be... brief lives,
          C#m7-5               Am7
And then,        you all will wonder why!

[Verse 3]
Bbmaj7                          Asus2
        I was only sixteen years old, you were only seventeen,
Bbsus2                                     Asus2                  F
        Life isn't so complicated, but then life isn't 'sposed to be,
         E7sus4                G6
For all-------- these years,
         D6                    C#m7-5       D6
For all-------- these years!  | /  /  /  / | /  /  /  / |

Cm9                  B7b9           Am7       Bm7      Em
      Could somebody tell them, to hurry on, hurry on down,
               Cm9           B7b9
Could somebody tell them to hurry on, hurry on!

[Verse4]
E7sus4                 G6
        Every censor,      everybody loses their way,
          D6                         C#m7-5              Am7
I have a wealth of material, I have a well of people to share with you,
E7sus4                G6
        Every lover,      well, they all tell lies,
            D6                               C#m7-5
I have his wife in the background, but I have more than this,
       Am7
I have more than this!

And if...       Mr. Chaste,         he has a past,
