Intro: A D A C# D F#m E 

Verse: 

A   D                  A  
       Remembered your name 
   C#  D             F#m     E 
Evidently, you've forgotten mine. 
A   D                        A 
       You know a lot of people 
C# D                     F#m      E 
I know, a mind dulled by work and wine. 


Chorus: 

E                                                    Bm 
I got hired but I got tired of draining the pool for you. 
      D         F#m    E 
I got tired but not so blue, 
                     Bm 
To see the cracks in you. 
      D      F#m       E 
I got hired against my wish, 
            Bm 
With better prospects, after this. 

Ten leaves, 
Ten leaves, on a river bank. 
Just like the glass 
From the champagne bottles smashed where they sank. 

Chorus 

Your interest in freaks 
The side show, the low life holds nothing for me. 
Because I have seen it 
Almost been it, and it's not my cup of thrills. 

Chorus 

Fade: on swimming pools, hiring and tiring, and 
anything after this.
Full key step up
Half key step up
Half key step down
Full key step down
are you left-handed?
