Bm   D   A   (X 8)

Bm
We’re having a week off
D            A
We’re having a rest
Bm                    D                  A
Listen to the way we cough it’s for the best
Bm     
The party’s over
D         A
It’s been a long, long night
Bm
When we get sober
D           A         G
You’ll see I’m right 

               A             G
Now we can get on, with our lives 
             A                    G
Step to the beat and get back in line 
                   A
We don’t need to travel
                  G
We don’t need to fly
                A                      Bm   D   A    [Bm   D    A] X 3
Like you said it’s two more chances to die

Bm
I’ll write a good song 
D     A
Just give me more time 
Bm                    D
It’s easy hating yourself
           A
It’s hard making it rhyme
Bm           D         A            Bm
We gonna sit on top of a hill for a day 
                D         A        G
Play guitar and folk my troubles away 

              A                 G
I’m going to kill, the idiot in me 
                    A                   G
Chase the bastards down, demand that he leaves
         A                      G
All you nice breathing people alone
                A                          G
I just want to wake up or sleeping and go home`
                   A                     G
I’m scared of the time, I sweat at the phone
                    A                 G
Fleetwood Mac polyphonic softens the blow 
                A                  G
At times like these, I know that I am
              A                    G
The happiest person, the luckiest man 
               A                G
But since the day I wrote this song
                      A                    G
I’ll just pick up my feet and drag wearily on

A   G   (X 4)
G   A   (X 4)
G

              A                     G
I’m going to stop soon because I’m tired
           A             G          
Tired and full, full of sorrow
               A                  G
Tired at the thought, that if I sleep
         A           G
I only brings a new tomorrow
              A                     G
I’m going to stop soon because I’m tired
           A             G          
Tired and full, full of sorrow
               A                   G
Tired at the thought, that when I sleep
                A            Bm   D   A    [Bm   D    A] X 7   Bm \
It’s going to bring a new tomorrow
