Intro:
G Am Em D G  

 
 Em             D 
Every day's your last day 
G                  Am 
 I've always been taught that way 
    Em                 D              G              Am 
That  every day's the first day of the rest of your life 
Em                  D          G               Am 
  Don't be scared of danger and never talk to strangers 
    Em          D             G 
And don't ever allow them to see you cry

Em              D        G                 Am 
Try to know the answer before you hear the question 
Em               D          G           Am 
Try to solve the problems before they arise 
Em               D 
  Never show your weaknesses 
G                     Am 
 Hold your cards close  to your chest 
Em       D                  G              Am 
  Never burden others with what's on your mind 
 

 
             G                  D 
And you'll be killing yourself day by day 
Am                                C 
  You won't see that you are blind 
           G                    D 
You'll be killing yourself in a slow slow way 
           Am                       C 
Thinking that you're only killing time 
 

 
   Em                 D        G               Am 
And  if you've been a good boy buy yourself a  new toy 
Em              D          G           Am 
  Get yourself a motorcycle gun and a knife 
 Em              D            G                Am 
What you need's a big car to drive you to the big bar 
    Em                  D 
Mr Spoons went out for coffee 
       G                 Am 
He came back with a wife 
 

 
            G                D 
And he'll be killing himself day by day 
Am                       C 
He won't see that he is blind 
        G                      D 
He'll be killing himself in a slow slow way 
          Am             C 
Thinking that he's only killing time 
 

 
   Em            D     G              Am 
And  he'll be the one the one that's controlled 
     Em          D          G            Am 
The one who feel guilty for she's getting old 
            Em        D            G               Am 
  And he'll panic for her with every second that's gone 
           Em 
And he'll agree 
D           G                A 
 Though he knows that she's wrong 
 

 
            Em            D 
And it's the  way of the world 
     G               Am 
And it's always the same 
           Em                D 
And there's  nothing you can do 
           G               Am 
And there's no one you can blame 
            Em            D 
And it's the  way of the world 
          G            Am 
And it's sad and it's true 
           Em 
But it will  happen to you 
D            G   Am 
 Just like  Mr  Spoons
