[Intro] Am [Verse 1]

Am
I'll walk up the mic

At the top of the show

            C
Think, only fifty-nine more

        Em
Flaming minutes to go

        F
The old suit doesn't fit

            C          Am
The money's nothing at all

   F            C
To give 'em the stand-up

        Am
And the mirror ball

[Verse 2]

Am
When I was in fashion

The toast of the town

   C
By God, it were smashing

          Em
There was totty all round

    F
I'd have them all legless

       C          Am
In the palm of my hand

            F          C
And we'd be off to wherever

        Am
From my laughter land

[Middle 8]

F
You had loyalty

                C
Back in the ITV years

                  Am
We all played for royalty

                  F     E
All had the big careers

[Instrumental break] Am C Em F C Am F C Am [Verse 3]

Am
Well you wake up one morning

Hey presto, you're gone

       C
You've slipped out of style

    Em
And there you are, done

    F
You wake up one morning

       C            Am
You're just not the trend

      F              C
Soon enough you're appearing

       Am
At The Living End

[Verse 4]

Am
I'm going too fast

I can tell you for free

C
Dying from trying

   Em
Is what you can see

        F
Needs a break and a brandy

     C         Am
Your funny man friend

F         C
Tonight appearing

       Am
At The Living End

F         C
Tonight appearing

       Am
At The Living End

[Outro] Am
