F#
There’s such a lot of good ways to be bad
D A(riff 3)
And so many bad ways to be good haven’t paid my rent yet
B7 E7 A(riff 3)
I tell them sorry but I haven’t got the money anymore

F# B7 E7
Just for today I thought I’d leave home alone, hold hands with day
D A(riff 3)
And if I’m so bad, why don’t they take me away?

A
Just like what you hear with a shell pressed to your ear
D D7 A(riff 3)
That’s the sea in the trees in the morning hello the universal
B7 E7 A
Good morning Steve, well you won’t believe me today

F# B7 E7
Working doesn’t seem to be the perfect thing for me so I’ll continue to play
D A
And if I’m so bad why don’t they take me away?


D, Dsus4, D, A, B7, E7, (A)

A
Well a hippy trippy name dropper came through my door
D
He said “I just bumped into Mick he told me you know where to score?”
A B7 E7 A
No not me friend, I mind my own and my own minds me

F# B7 E7
Well my love is at the foot of your hand come what may
D A
But if June comes first please won’t you take me away
