It's a god-awful small affair to the girl with the mousy hair   
         F#m/E             B/Eb                               E     
But her mother is yelling "No" and her father as told her to go   
          E/Eb                  Bm/D     
But her friend is nowhere to be seen

For she's lived it ten times or more

Dm                   A      D                    E   
Take a look at the Lawman, beating up the wrong guy   
F#m       Dm                     E Em                          Bm

It's on Amerika's tortured brow

From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads

Rule Brittania is out of bounds   
                             G   
To my mother, my dog and clowns   
          G                Em   
But the film is a saddening bore   
           F                   C   
 Cause I wrote it ten times before   
          E7                   Am             
It's about to be writ again   
     C   
As I ask you to focus on  .... Chorus
