Intro: G G7 G G7 


verse 1 

G 
It's ten past four in the morning 
G7                               C 
My minds like a dynamo just wont give in 
Am 
Maybe the lights are to bright  
C                                               G     G7 
Maybe it's the amphetamine that i took last night 

G 
I haven't moved for an hour 
G7                                          C 
This attic is cold, smells strongly of turpentine 
Am 
But i don't mind  
C                                                          G    G7 
Cause i'm hoping the fumes might eventually send me to sleep 


Em 
My eyes are bloodshot from three days and nights 
C 
Of just staring through walls and refilling my cup to the top  
Em 
With cheap whiskey which says on the label 
C 
Distilled in kentucky but bottled in birkenhead 
G 
This kind of thing makes me smile to myself 
C 
Everyday when the world spins around in my shell 
G     Em         C 
It's all in good time, all in bad health 
G     Em         C                       G   G7 
It's all in good time, all in bad health 



verse 2 

G 
Just sit here drifting  
G7                              C 
Through the realms of the sick, be unwell 
Am 
I'm on tender hooks 
C                                                              G     G7 
And i'm looking quite pale but still got my dashing good looks 

G 
It's ten past four in the morning 
G7                               C 
My minds like a dynamo just wont give in 
Am 
Maybe the lights are to bright  
C                                               G     G7 
Maybe it's the amphetamine that i took last night 


Em 
My eyes are bloodshot from three days and nights 
C 
Of just staring through walls and refilling my cup to the top

C 
Everyday when the worlds spins around in my shell 
G     Em         C 
It's all in good time, all in bad health 
G     Em         C                       G   G7 
It's all in good time, all in bad health
