INTRO: A D A C# D F#m E
VERSE:
A D A
Remembered your name
C# D F#m E
Evidently, you've forgotten mine.
A D A
You know a lot of people
C# D F#m E
I know, a mind dulled by work and wine.
CHORUS:
E Bm
I got hired but I got tired of draining the pool for you.
D F#m E
I got tired but not so blue,
Bm
To see the cracks in you.
D F#m E
I got hired against my wish,
Bm
With better prospects, after this.
Ten leaves,
Ten leaves, on a river bank.
Just like the glass
From the champagne bottles smashed where they sank.
chorus
Your interest in freaks
The side show, the low life holds nothing for me.
Because I have seen it
Almost been it, and it's not my cup of thrills.
chorus
Fade: on swimming pools, hiring and tiring, and
anything after this.
