intro: Dm Bb F G (2x) verse: Bb F A Dm Bb F A A7 chorus: D A Gm Bm G D A Am G A (Dm Bb F G) I'm all alone this is a holiday some bloody holiday my friends have gone away (Dm Bb F G) they're of the temp-or-ary sort I think I will be better without as long as you let me out (Bb F A Dm) to taste the air beside the river I pick the soundtrack with immaculate care (Bb F A A7) such a lot rests upon it my life upon a song you don't know how much I need musician, please take heed (Dm Bb F G) I thought I might just write a letter anything to stay away from books and lessons today (Dm Bb F G) besides, it's part of my induction into the literate world I am a literate girl (Bb F A Dm) I string the words together softly I lay my love upon you with each line (Bb F A A7) a gift of improvising removes me from revising I made a daisy chain from phrase, verse, and punctuation (D A Gm Bm) ill kick this mood off with a change of scene I bought a leotard I'm going to the gym (G D A Am G A) I couldn't get away with wearing it all summer but I've lost a lot of weight I think it's down to leaving meat out of my diet as a rule I won't buy it 'cause it's cruel (Dm Bb F G) and if the nighttime threatens me with pain I will give into lust I will do what I must (Dm Bb F G) I've got a number of a girl I know who gets hallucinogens from a pair of hooligans (Bb F A Dm) ill take a dose I don't mind trying she lets me stay there while I leave the ground (Bb F A A7) Old episodes of Miser I snuggle up beside her think that I'll stay 'till morning she's got me started yawning
