D           Dbm7 
Oh, to get ahead in this world 
        Bm7 
Takes a lot of kind words 
    E 
And ruthless damning actions 

      D            Dbm7 
And I hope I never have to hurt you 
         Bm7               E 
Though I gladly will do my friend 



[Refrão]
            Bm7            E 
And I'll be reading in the kitchen 
        F#m          A 
Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be 
Bm7            E 
Brooding in my bedroom with the 
F#m 
Shutters down on me 
         Bm7             E 
And this song is not cathartic 
        F#m               A 
Because I've done nothing wrong 
            Bm7  E            F#m 
It's just a song, it's just a song 


verse 2 

D               Dbm7 
Ah, you see the more you're trying 
           Bm7 
The more I know you're lying 
    E 
The more I start to hate the sight of 

D                            Dbm7 
you-oo-oo-oo-oo Well tell me what would you do? 

Bm7                                 E 
Pulled by both arms, nearly torn in two 




[Refrão]
            Bm7            E 
And I'll be reading in the kitchen 
        F#m          A 
Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be 
Bm7          E 
Crying in my bedroom with the 
F#m 
Covers over me 

         Bm7             E 
And this song is not cathartic 
        F#m               A 
Because I've done nothing wrong 
            Bm7  E            F#m 
It's just a song, it's just a song 



[Refrão]
            Bm7            E 
And I'll be reading in the kitchen 
        F#m          A 
Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be 

Bm7            E 
Brooding in my bedroom with the 
F#m 
Shutters down on me 
         Bm7             E 
And this song is not cathartic 
        F#m               A 
Because I've done nothing wrong 
            Bm7  E            F#m 
It's just a song, it's just a song 

            Bm7  E            F#m 
It's just a song, it's just a song
