Great tune, great band, fun song to play.
Em Am
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.
Em Am
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.
Am
She tells me her favourite song,
C
And I say, "Yeah, that's a good one..."
Am
She says it follows her around.
C Move up two frets and strum once
No shit, it's by the Beatles.
E Bm
I'm so lost,
F#m
And I live just around the corner.
E Bm
Well, here's a thought,
F#m
Get Frank McCourt to write the foreword.
A
And I'm John Lennon, in '67.
F#m
I'm John Lennon, in '67.
A
I'm John Lennon, in '67.
F#m
I'm John Lennon, in '67.

Em Am
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.
Em Am
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.
Am
The cats square off in the street,
C
The dogs go through the garbage.
Am
You wanna stay for the night tonight?
C C then slide up two frets strum once
Well I know all about platonic, honey.
E Bm
I'm so lost,
F#m
And I live just around the corner.
E Bm
Well, here's a thought,
F#m
Get Frank McCourt to write the foreword.
