[INTRO] Gmaj7  E7


[Verse]

           Gmaj7           E7
   Call me morbid, call me pale
              Gmaj7             E7
   I've spent six years on your trail
   Bm  A6   G
   Six long years
           E7     A
   On your trail

           Gmaj7           E7
   Call me morbid, call me pale
              Gmaj7             E7
   I've spent six years on your trail
   Bm       A6          G              E7  A
   Six full years of my life on your trail


[Chorus]

              F#                        G  D  A
   And if you have five seconds to spare
             F#                       G    C  G6
   Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
   D                   A
   Sixteen, clumsy and shy
F#                       Bm G
   I went to London and I
     D                       A     F#m  F#
   I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
               Gmaj7                E7
   I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?
     Gmaj7                E7
   I like it here - can I stay ?
   Bm            A6      G
   Do you have a vacancy
                   E7    A
   For a Back-scrubber?"


[Verse]

   She was left behind, and sour
   And she wrote to me, equally dour
   She said : "In the days when you were
   Hopelessly poor
   I just liked you more..."


[Chorus]

              F#                        G  D  A
   And if you have five seconds to spare
             F#                       G    C  G6
   Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
   D                   A
   Sixteen, clumsy and shy
F#                       Bm G
   I went to London and I
     D                       A     F#m  F#
   I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
               Gmaj7                E7
   I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?
     Gmaj7                E7
   I like it here - can I stay ?
   Bm            A6      G
   Do you have a vacancy
                   E7    A
   For a Back-scrubber?"


[Verse]

   Call me morbid, call me pale
   I've spent too long on your trail
   Far too long
   Chasing your tail
   Oh ...


[Chorus]  

              F#                       G  D  A
   And if you have five seconds to spare
             F#                       G    C  G6
   Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
   D                   A
   Sixteen, clumsy and shy
F#                     Bm     G  
   That's the story of my life
   D                   A
   Sixteen, clumsy and shy
       F#m         F#    
   The story of my life
              Gmaj7          E7
   That's the story of my life
Gmaj7                      E7
   That's the story of my life
Gmaj7                     E7
   That's the story of my life
Gmaj7                 E7..... 
   The story of my life

(repeat Gmaj7/E7 until end)
   That's the story of my life
   That's the story of my life
   That's the story of my life
   That's the story of my life
   That's the story of my life
   That's the story ...
