Great tune, great band, fun song to play.
Dm Gm
Head on the wall...
F A#
And my piss hardly makes the stall,
F A#
And this time it's not an act.
F A#
This time I swear it's fact.
Dm Gm
Now I ramble on,
F A#
About that girl who's gone;
F A#
And I tried teaching her guitar,
F A#
Now she's standing at the bar.
Gm
She tells me her favourite song,
A#
And I say, "Yeah, that's a good one..."
Gm
She says it follows her around.
A# Move up two frets and strum once
No shit, it's by the Beatles.
D Am
I'm so lost,
Em
And I live just around the corner.
D Am
Well, here's a thought,
Em
Get Frank McCourt to write the foreword.
G
And I'm John Lennon, in '67.
Em
I'm John Lennon, in '67.
G
I'm John Lennon, in '67.
Em
I'm John Lennon, in '67.

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

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