D#-E e G# e A e B Dflat2 Amaj7 B

E                        G#7
I can't produce a single tear
       A                     E
And it makes me just want to cry
                               G#7
There're not too many things I fear
   A                       B7
My childhood has long gone by
  A                          G#7
I need the sort of cleansing that
A                   E
Only a good sob can do
     A
Like starting with a pout
    F#m 
And getting it all out
 D                 B7
Emotionally start anew
    A                  B7
But nothing went wrong today
                   E
I just watched the TV

e G# e A e B Dflat2 Amaj7 B

F#m                   
Hoping maybe some drinking and driving ad 
             E
Might get to me


e G# e A e B Dflat2 Amaj7 B

D#-E e G# e A e B Dflat2 Amaj7 B

  E                         G#7
I can't produce the sort of thrill
           A                E
That would get me out of my room
                            G#7
I'm beaten but I still have hope
           A                    B7
That's the formula for stagnant doom
   A                    G#7
As long as I still have hope
       A                      E
I will not give up and settle down
    A       
And build a comfy life with a
F#m
Nagging average wife who won't
  D                          B7
Respect me 'cause I'm such a clown
    A                   B7
But nothing was great today
                   E
I just watched the TV

e G# e A e B Dflat2 Amaj7 B

F#m
Hoping maybe some current affairs show
                     E
Might get me off the couch

e G# e A e B Dflat2 Amaj7 B
      F#m                  B7
Yeah, nothing went wrong today
                   E
I just watched the TV

e G# e A e B Dflat2 Amaj7 B

F#m 
Hoping maybe some drinking and driving ad
              E
Might make me cry

e G# e A e B Dflat2 Amaj7 B
