Chords

A great song, by a really under-rated artist.

Bm
I woke up late today

E
Actually I do that everyday

Am
Got no place to be seen

I’m not part of a scene

G
I’m a genius loser

                                         Bm
Keeping counsel with my own opinion

                           E
President of the state that I’m in

               Am
Should I just stay in bed?

Should I live in my head?

     G
Oh God so many questions to ask

Oh you could call me lazy I think of it as taking my time ‘Cos I don’t want to do what I don’t want to do I’m the queen refusenik [CHORUS]

         Bm                                                           E
But - oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine

               C             G
But I’m a real late starter

            D                         A
So I’m making up for lost time

Bm                                                                E
Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now

            C        G                  D           A
But I’m so polite – I do it all of the time

                   C            G
I missed my calling in life

Bm
Oh well.

Day by day I wonder If I will be torn asunder By these things that I know that nobody else knows Or maybe it’s the drinking I guess we should consult a Bible Everybody needs a sign - or Bless the birds and the bees The flowers and trees And blessed be the slacker [CHORUS] But - oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine But I’m a real late starter So I’m making up for lost time Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now But I’m so polite – I do this all of the time I missed my calling in life

       E                               G
And you must be having a laugh

 E                                    G
Oh God – you’re having a laugh

D                 Am             G
No point in worrying if my day´s a disaster

D               Am                  G
Inside my little head I’m happy ever after

         F#
Yes I am

[CHORUS] Oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine But I’m a real late starter So I’m making up for lost time Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now But I’m so polite I missed my calling in life [CHORUS] Oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine But I’m a real late starter So I’m making up for lost time Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now But I’m so polite – I do this all of the time I missed my calling in life Oooh – what of my life? Yeah well.
