(Intro)
Bm Em, D F#7 (x2)
Bm Em D F#7
I remember when I saw the sea freeze
Bm Em D F#7
But it said nothing about the birds and the bees
Bm Em
They were swarming around my head
D F#7
You'd be better off dead
G F#m
But I ain't going down like that
G F#m
I ain't going down like that
Bm Em
Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been
D F#7
You know where I'm coming from
Bm Em
And I'm dying to sin but don't we all sin
D F#7
That is the truth and the truth is grim
Bm Em
It ain't easy in jail the stories for sale
D F#7
Your father has died while he's gripped for bail
Bm Em
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest
D F#7
And wants you to be his special guest
G F#m G F#m
Oo oh oo oh
Bm Em D F#7
I remember when I saw the leaves fall
Bm Em
I was in the woods
G F#7
And the gown you wouldn't wear to the Ball
Bm Em D F#7
Into the ditch I fly wanted dead or alive
G F#m
But I ain't going down like that
G F#m
No I ain't going down like that
Bm Em
Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been
D F#7
You know where I'm coming from
Bm Em
And I'm dying to sin but don't we all sin
D F#7
That is the truth and the truth is grim
Bm Em
It ain't easy in jail the stories for sale
D F#7
Your father has died while he's gripped for bail
Bm Em
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest
D F#7
And wants you to be his special guest
G F#m G F#m
Oo oh oo oh
Bm Em D F#7
Hi hi hi
Bm Em D F#7
Hi hi hi
G F#m (x2)
Bm Em
Coz I'm better than him and I know where I've been
D F#7
You know where I'm coming from
Bm Em
And I'm dying to sin but don't we all sin
D F#7
That is the truth and the truth is grim
