There?s such a lot of good ways to be bad

D A

And so many bad ways to be good haven?t paid my rent yet

B7 E7 A

I tell them sorry but I haven?t got the money anymore

F# B7 E7

Just for today I thought I?d leave home alone, hold hands with day

D A

And if I?m so bad, why don?t they take me away?

A

Just like what you hear with a shell pressed to your ear

D D7 A

That?s the sea in the trees in the morning hello the universal

B7 E7 A

Good morning Steve, well you won?t believe me today

F# B7 E7

Working doesn?t seem to be the perfect thing for me so I?ll continue to play

D A

And if I?m so bad why don?t they take me away?

D, Dsus4, D, A, B7, E7, (A)

A

Well a hippy trippy name dropper came through my door

D

He said ?I just bumped into Mick he told me you know where to score??

A B7 E7 A

No not me friend, I mind my own and my own minds me

F# B7 E7

Well my love is at the foot of your hand come what may

D A

But if June comes first please won?t you take me away?
