[Verse 1]
G#m B F# C#
The skeleton in the cupboard is standing there to see you
C#m G#m A# D#7
He hasn't any brains left but there's something in their place
G#m B F# C#
Yes he's always there waiting round the corner
C#m G#m A# D#7 G#m
Making any ordinary day change its face
[Chorus 1]
B F# C#m G#m
He tries to drag me down all the time
A G#m
And make no bones about it
G#m
I don't doubt it that a dog could have a better life
B F# C#m G#m
He just drags me down all the time
A G#m
And make no bones about it
G#m
I don't doubt it that a dog could have a better life

G#m B F# C#
The cat has just had kittens and the dog has caught distemper

They help me to remember all my life I've had to save

Now I know it's not worthwhile continuing the present
C#m G#m A# D#7 G#m
The only pleasant dream I have is rotting in a grave

Yes you can drag me down any time
A G#m
(For) make no bones about it
