Intro:
D E D/B E x2
verse:
D E
Oh, to get ahead in this world
D/B
Takes a lot of kind words
E
And ruthless damning actions
D E
And I hope I never have to hurt you
D/B E
Though I gladly will do my friend
chorus:
D/F# E
And I'll be reading in the kitchen
F#m A
Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be
D/F# E
Brooding in my bedroom with the
F#m A
Shutters down on me
D/F# E
And this song is not cathartic
F#m A
Because I've done nothing wrong
D/F# E F#m
It's just a song, it's just a song

F#m
break/riff:

verse 2:
D E
Ah, you see the more you're trying
D/B
The more I know you're lying
E
The more I start to hate the sight of you
D E
Well tell me what would you do?
D/B E
Pulled by both arms, nearly torn in two
chorus:
D/F# E
And I'll be reading in the kitchen
F#m A
Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be
D/F# E
Brooding in my bedroom with the
F#m A
Shutters down on me
D/F# E
And this song is not cathartic
F#m A
Because I've done nothing wrong

It's just a song, it's just a song

Shutters down on me

And this song is not cathartic
