 I came in here for the special offer,

 E                      G#m
 a guar-an-teed per-so-nal-i-ty.

[Verse 1, 2]

 E                B         C#m
 I wasn't born so much as I fell out.

 A                B      E
 Nobody seemed to notice me.

 C#m                 B           A
 We had a hedge back home in the suburb,

 Amaj7        B           E
 over which I never could see.

E                      B           C#m
I heard the people who live on the ceiling

A                     B    E
scream and fight most scarily.

C#m                       B          A
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling!

Amaj7                B          E
That's how it's been all around me.

[Chorus] [Verse 3, 4]

E                   B           C#m
I'm all tuned in, I see all the programs.

A                   B          E
I save coupons from packets of tea.

C#m                   B           A
I've got my giant hit discotheque album!

Amaj7               B          E
I empty a bottle, I feel a bit free.

E                         B            C#m
The kids in halls and the pipes in the walls

A                  B    E
make me noises for company.

C#m                        B             A
Long distance callers make long distance calls!

Amaj7                 B      E
And the silence makes me lonely.

[Chorus] [Outro] (w/ chorus progression): E C#m7 A(maj7) E B E Then..

 E
                  No, it's not

 C#m7

 E
 I'm all lost..        I'm all

 C#m7
 lost. (I'm all lost)  I'm all

 A(maj7)
 lost. (I'm all lost)

E B E *END* Intro/Chorus Details w/ Strumming Timing: Notes: The previous tabs made this so confusing. The basic chords seem simple enough. They are just a little repetitive and get spiced up a bit. I wouldn't take it too seriously as this is mostly a very simple song. (Basics...) 1 & . 2 & . 3 & . 4 & .
