[Verse 1]
G Em C F
The car still creaking in the driveway out the front
C
A long time since you’ve been home
C D
In the city that you were born
G Em C F
And I know you don’t want to explain
C
You’re not here to make amends
C D
That you forgot to get new friends
[Chorus]
Em C
Lately I’ve been thinking
G A
There’s so much to do
G C
Don’t be proud of drinking
G D
It’s beaten better men than you
[Verse 2]
G Em C F
Blue singlet tranny and her neuroses
C
Show respect no posters here
C D
Demurely she sips her beer
G Em C F
With early-evening Bela Lugosis
C
Young girls started saying no
C D
Should have started years ago
[Chorus]
Em C
Lately I've been thinking
G A
There's so much to do
G C
Don't be proud of drinking
G D
It's beaten better men than you
[Bridge]
Bm E
When you want to talk about it
C Cm
I’ll still be here
G Em C F
The middle-classes show their arses on the stair
C D
To think you used to love the races
G Em C F
Back then you could pull winners out of thin air
C D
Now you only bet on places
[Chorus]
Em C
Lately I’ve been thinking
G A
There’s so much to do
G C
Don’t be proud of drinking
G D
It’s beaten better men than you
Em C
Lately I’ve been thinking
G A
There’s too much to see
G C
I won’t be proud of drinking
G D
It’s beaten better men than me
G A
Better men than me
G A
Better men than me
