Use your middle, 3rd and 4th finger to keep your index finger free to hammer-on the 2nd string

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour

But heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job

And heaven knows I'm miserable now

[Chorus]

In my life

Emaj7                   A/C#  B
Why do I give valuable time

   E                E/D#    E/C# E/B     A/C# B/D# A/C# B
To people who don't care if I    live or die?

Two lovers entwined pass me by

What she asked of me at the end of the day

  F#m     F#m/E       A      B
Caligula would have blushed

            Emaj7                  C#m
"Oh, you've been in the house too long" she said

    F#m  F#m/E      A   B
And I    naturally fled

[Chorus]

Emaj7   A  B

Why do I smile

   E              E/D#   E/C# E/B      A/C# B/D# A/C# B
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?
