Fm A#m
Head on the wall...
G# C#
And my piss hardly makes the stall,
G# C#
And this time it's not an act.
G# C#
This time I swear it's fact.
Fm A#m
Now I ramble on,
G# C#
About that girl who's gone;
G# C#
And I tried teaching her guitar,
G# C#
Now she's standing at the bar.
A#m
She tells me her favourite song,
C#
And I say, "Yeah, that's a good one..."
A#m
She says it follows her around.
C# Move up two frets and strum once
No shit, it's by the Beatles.
F Cm
I'm so lost,
Gm
And I live just around the corner.

Well, here's a thought,
Gm
Get Frank McCourt to write the foreword.

Fm A#m
Adam's in love again.
G# C#
And the good Rev wants to jam instead.
G# C#
Morgan's hearing none of it.
G# C#
She says we're doing it again.
Fm A#m
The neighbourhood's up in arms.
G# C#
They're trying to shut down all the bars
G# C#
When everyone's a private eye
G# C#
They're hiding in the bushes every night.
A#m
The cats square off in the street,
C#
The dogs go through the garbage.
A#m
You wanna stay for the night tonight?
C# C# then slide up two frets strum once
Well I know all about platonic, honey.
F Cm
I'm so lost,
Gm
And I live just around the corner.
