[Verse]
E                  A           B               E
Laid here with the advertising sliding past my eyes
          A   B                   E
Like cartoons from other people's lives
            A             B             E      A      B
I start to wonder what it takes to be a man uh uh  uhhhhhhhhhhh
E                             A            B         E                 A     B  E
Well I learned to drink and I learned to smoke and I learned to tell a dirty joke 
          A                      B                E        B
If that's all there is then there's no point for me he he heeeey


[Chorus]
E                                  A
So please can I ask just why we're alive?
                                          B
Cos all that you do seems such a waste of time
                                            A7               E
And if you hang around too long you'll be a ma a a a a a a a an
                                                    A
Tell me bout it, your car can get up to a hundred and ten
                                           B
You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
                                          A7               E
And nothing ever makes no difference to a ma a a a a a a a an


[Verse]
        A            B                  E
So you stumble into town and hold your stomach in
A                     B                        E
Show them what you've got though they've seen everything
              A                  B              E        A    B
Yeah you're a beauty but they've seen your type before oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
       E               A         B        E                A      B
You've got no need but still you want, so go and book that restauraaaaant
    E                  A           B        E                B
The wine will flow and then you'll just fly away eh eh eh eh eh he yeh eh eh
