Verse 3
A D
Getting drugged up with my trendy friends
A
They really dig me and I dig them
D Bm E F
And the bread I spend - is like my fame - it's quickly diminished
Verse 4
D A
There's no more swim in the guitar shaped pool
D A
No more reporters at my back and call
D A
No more cocaine, now it's only ground chalk
D A
No more taxis now we'll have to walk
Chorus
E D A
But didn't we have a nice time -
E D A
Didn't we have a nice time
E D G
Oh wasn't it such a fine time
Verse 5
A D
I realize should have stuck to my guns
A
Instead shit turned out to be one of the bastard sons
D Bm E F
And lose myself - I know it was wrong - it's cost me the lot
Verse 6
D A
There's no more drinking when the club shuts down
D A
I'm now at my arse with the rest of the clowns
D A
It's really frightening without a bodyguard
D A
So I stay confined to my lonely room
Chorus
E D A
But didn't we have a nice time -
E D A
Didn't we have a nice time
E D G
Oh wasn't it such a fine time
A D A
To be someone must me a wonderful thing
