[VERSE 1:]
The doorknob needs mending
C ~ Am
Letters need sending
D
The kitchen's a disgrace

Grease all over the place
[VERSE 2:]
G
I see your pretty picture
C ~ Am
The one you gave me last Easter
D
Has a moustache drawn in green
Am D
Where your lipstick should have been
[CHORUS:]
G Em C Am
You never think of time, 'til it passes you by
D Am D
Never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry
G Em C Am
You never count the days, 'til the nights grow cold
D Am D
Never think you're aged, 'til you realise you're old
[VERSE 3:]
G
The ashtrays are brimful
C ~ Am
My secrets are sinful
D
And I drink a lot now
Am D
It's the only friend I've got now
[VERSE 4:]

I'd write you a letter

And I need to mend it

So I wouldn't have the time to send it

I could not live with you

But it's so hard without you

I'm a helpless case

A misfit social disgrace

Maybe next century

I'll come to my senses

Work out the reason why

You never miss the water, 'til the well runs dry
