[Verse 1]
    Em              G           D                 A
The skeleton in the cupboard is standing there to see you
   Am         Em                      F#                 B7
He hasn't any brains left but there's something in their place
    Em          G        D                 A
Yes he's always there    waiting round the corner
Am         Em       F#   B7         Em
Making any ordinary day  change its face

[Chorus 1]
            G       D     Am        Em
He tries to drag me down  all  the  time
    F             Em
And make no bones about it
        Em
I don't doubt it that a dog could have a better life
        G        D     Am        Em
He just drags me down  all  the  time
    F             Em
And make no bones about it
        Em
I don't doubt it that a dog could have a better life

[Verse 2]
    Em               G               D                 A
The cat has just had kittens and the dog has caught distemper
     Am           Em            F#               B7
They help me to remember all my life I've had to save
      Em                 G        D           A
Now I know it's not worthwhile continuing the present
    Am            Em              F#      B7   Em
The only pleasant dream I have is rotting in a grave

[Chorus 2]

            G       D      Am    Em
Yes you can drag me down   any   time
      F              Em
(For) make no bones about it
        Em
I don't doubt it that a dog could have a better life
        G       D      Am    Em
You can drag me down   any   time
      F             Em
(For) make no bones about it
        Em
I don't doubt it that a dog would have a better life
