[Intro] A7M  C  Bm  A
 
      E                      C#m
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
    F#m               A         B
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
      E                              C#m
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
    F#m              A          B
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
 
E          A B
In my life
E                           A      B
Why do I give valuable time
   E                                      A    B
To people who don't care if   I   live or die ?

   E                C#m
Two lovers entwined pass me by
    F#m               A         B
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
      E                              C#m
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job

         E                  C#m
What she asked of me at the end of the day
 F#m                 A       B
Caligula would have blushed
           E                      C#m
"Oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
    F#m                   A   B
And  I     na - turally fled
 
E          A B
In my life
E        A      B
Why do I smile
   E                                  A    B
At people who I'd much rather kick in the  eye?
