Verse (1):
C
I know there's a party out there,
F
Somewhere for crashers and burners to let down their hair,
G
The red eye reduction is failing production,
C
There's smoke shadows everywhere.
C
I could go along for a while,
F
And talk to my friends and their friends and their friends and that smile,
G
It's not that I'm better, or cooler, or clever,
C C7
In fact I'm a geek without style.
Chorus:
F
The ashtrays are empty, there's shandies aplenty,
G Am
I wish I was more rock and roll.
G
But my eyes are adrift as my mind wanders off,
F C
Into visions of blankets and coal.
F G
The sun sets for reasons it's tired and it's pleasing itself,
Am
What an ideal life.
G
I may look the part but I know in my heart,
F C
That I'd rather be home with the wife.
Verse (2):
C
The girls hang on necks of the boys,
F
The boys act all coy with their beer and their cigarettes of joy,
G
It takes me way back to a time when I'd stay when I'm young,
C
And that was just yesterday.
C
There's nothing wrong with the affair,
F
It's just that my hair is all tangled in need of repair,
G
I may get some glasses and sell backstage passes
C C7
To those who can deal with the noise.
Chorus
