Bm Em Am Things I've been telling myself for years
[Verse]
Am I can read people, yeah F Blushing peccadillos, twisted bents, and buried fears Bm Em Am Things I've been telling myself for years Am I'm the dashboard hula girl of nodding self-deception F Here's to never accepting slight adjustment or correction Bm Em Here's to a doting mother's voice assisting me in every choice Am Saying, "Chorister, binman, or barrister? So lucky, son, to have you" Am Here's to walking in evеry room like ascending for an Oscar F Kissing hands and shaking babies, Blackpool rock impostеr Bm A cannon loosed, a golden goose Em Leo Sayer of the unsaid sooths Am I'll fix you with a cosmic stare Am I'll fix your life, go fix your hair, I dare you
[Interlude]
|: Am F Bm Em Am |
[Verse 2]
Am Of course, I'll live to ninety-six and fix the welfare state F I'll build a house with these two hands, my face above the gate Bm Em I haven't paid for cabs or beers or met a cunt in twenty years Am Bm Like all that outrun poverty, all I have was coming to me
[Outro]
Em Am Things I've been telling myself for years, Ohhhh Bm Em Am All of these things I've been telling myself for years Bm Em Am Things I've been telling myself for years
