C         Bb
Table for one,
Am         G
Preferably out of the sun,

Somewhere where it's quiet.

C            Bb
And a coffee too,
Am             G
Better make it black right through,
F                   C        G
I'm feeling fairly shite.

Am              G            C
I don't think I have enough class,
          E               F
To handle drinking from a glass,
       F#         G  N.C.
Get me water in a pla - stic cup.

         C      Bb         C
G & S: I went a shandy too far,
          E
I woke up in the bed of,
F       F#         G  N.C.
Someone who I just never thought I'd do.

I know, I went a shandy too far,
         E               F
I wonder where I left my car?
  G          C     G
A shandy too far.


Mmmm... yum, yum, yum...

C           Bb
Comfortable bed...

G & S:          (Comfortable bed...)
Am              G
Shame about the pain in my head.
F                  C       G
Where'd I leave my shoes?
G & S:          (Well, they're just over there...)
C                  Bb
Well, they're over there,
Am
G & S:          (Over there...)
              G
Underneath my underwear,
    F                  C        G
And where'd I get this bruise?

Am             G             C
I can hear her come down the hall,
             E                F
And bang her head against the wall,
             F#
And wish she didn't have...
      G
... appalling luck.

    C      Bb         C
She went a shandy too far,
          E
I woke up in the bed of,

Someone who I just never thought I'd do.

I wonder where I left my car?
  G          Am
A shandy too far.

E       Am           Bb
Take my advice, in a crisis,
        F             F#
Catch a taxi, catch a bus.
               G
But if there's one thing you should never do is trust yourself,
 C                        Bb
'Cause there's a caveman inside,
Am                         G             F
Your brain's just coming along for the ride,
      G         C       G
You'd think I'd learn.

Yon and Gatesy: (Shandy too far...)

C               Bb
I don't know it all,
Am              G
When it will be safe to call.
   F                 F#
We used to be quite friendly,
    G
But this could be the end.

           C  N.C.
Because we went...
