A really simple song, again thats the beauty of pop! Where the (F) is marked  
with a  , it means play the fulle barre chord, and hammer your finger on  
to the 6th string 1st fret from the open string for the little riff effect  
that Pete plays. 
 
 
 
     (G) 
I am soft from my life and too soft for a wife I know  
     (C)                            (B) 
I'll never have, but that's not so bad. 
      (G) 
'Cos I won't change a thing, I won't lift a finger more  
       (C                B) 
than I have to, just to get through. 
(Am            Em         D          Am) 
I could say a lot about being in a rut  
            (Em         D) 
if I hadn't already forgot. 
          (Am      G/B C) 
Wouldn't you know it? 
 
     (G)                                                 (C) 
Some avoid things for weeks out of fear of getting too familiar.  
                   (B) 
"'Cos that's what kills ya". 
         (G)                                             
But I'll take dull routine over magazines that tell me  
  (C)                      (B) 
"What to do when you get run thru". 
(Am        Em               D            Am) 
If I never move from this spot I'll be safe  
                 (Em           D) 
from hurting you and making mistakes. 
             (Am    G/B C) 
So I'm never moving. 
 
(G                C             G               C)    
If I can spot a bad toupee on some poor sucker miles away,  
(F)     
how come I couldn't spot this going wrong,  
(D) 
I couldn't stop this coming 
(G             C           G                 C) 
On and on in TV shows, in books I read and videos,  
(F)  
I don't know how to ever get it back,  
(D)                              (Am   G/B C) 
it's just a long day turning black. 
 
(B)                     (Em) 
She must know I'm not sleeping  
          (Am                 C              D) 
and I can hear her press the handset to her ear,  
              (Em                 Am                 C) 
and close the front door with no tears and put the car into   
       (G    C   G   C   F)    (D) 
first gear. 
 
(G                C             G               C)    
If I can spot a bad toupee on some poor sucker miles away,  
(F)     
how come I couldn't spot this going wrong,  
(D)

(G             C           G                 C)

(F)  
I don't know how to ever get it back,  
(D)                             (G   C   G   F)   (D) 
it's just a long day turning black.
