It can be nice during the F G Am changes to use a Fmaj7 instead of a normal F =) 


  
                                                          
You are watching a programme for exactly an hour
                              
All of these hours they will add up to a day
                                                 
You will sit there till they're done now there are 24 to play
                                               
And there are rims around your eyelballs by the 7th or the 8th
                                                        
But if you go to sleep tonight you will be older when you wake
                                                                         
And you say one man is the parachute and the other is the knife that cuts 
      
the brakes


                          
First we were born then we ran slowly out of luck
                                          
You are still not Charles Bukowski and i am not Diane Cluck  
                                                    
And i would suck the life from you if there was any left to suck
                                              
And i would love you if you told me there was something there to love
                          
I would marry you for money
                           
I would marry you for money
                                
I would marry you for money if it stuck
                                                               
I would marry you for money but i don't suppose you'll ever have enough


                        
Man on the screen he has done more in a minute
                                    
Than you have achieved in your whole entire life
                                      
When you finally realise i was the best thing you had init
                                        
We'll be closing up your eyelids on the bed on which you die
               
And i'll be sorry if it happens to you

Sorry if it happens to you
                          
Sorry if it happens to you but
                                     
They say one life is the cancer and another is the blade that 

           
makes the cut


                              
24 for every year that we have slipped
                                             
     Day by day into the neck of the abyss
                                     
And i am 24 today i don't believe i'll sit
                                                              
Through another year of this while you are sewing up your lips
           
And i'll be sorry that you happened to me

Sorry that you happened to me
                           
Sorry that you happened to me but
                                        
They say that one man is the accident the other is the hand that stops the 

blood
                                                                  
And i am looking for the other one,        for the hand to stop the blood
