[Verse]
D
I try not to stand too close to myself
D
I try not to listen to the things I say
D
They say there's no such thing as self-abuse
D
But you wonder how I can be trusted
D
If I'm finely tuned or well adjusted
D
Oh, pity about you
D
Oh, pity about me
D
Mostly pity about her
D
Every time she comes inside
D
You – had to run
D
You had to run
D
You wish that crush would go away
[Chorus]
D
(Enter Bass & Bongos)
You're not the only one !
D
Squinting at broad daylight
D
Drumming up a conversation
D
Parson's brass is pealing / appealing
D
Drumming up a congregation
C
Hands reaching for a glass of water
C
Dry socks and razor rash
D
Your shoes under my bed
D
Dandruff, doona, cigarette ash
C
I've tried to play it open-handed
C
I've tried to make a fist of this
D
Even when the questions are candid
D
My arrows miss
C
I've heard about your fragile ego
C
Your shield, your sword
D
What am I expected to do ?
D
Shout Man Overboard ?
D
Come around when I'm asleep
D
Roll around, try to wake me
D
That's all right, you've got to go now
D
Words overtake me
C
Your pubic hairs are on my pillow
C
Your stubble rings the sink
D
Your words under my sing
D
Your table manners stink
[Bridge]
G
I paddle in the things I love
D
You wallow in a swamp of trivia
D
In a vase with insincere I love you's
D
Next door's camellias
C
I'm sick and tired of this position
D
Hatched underneath your arm
D
Crotch under stress
D
You're little and it's come
C
I'm bored – staring at the ceiling
C D
While you point out my faults
D
I've watched the wallpaper pealing
D
From slamming doors
C
You talk about penis envy
C
Your friends applaud
C D
What am I expected to do ?
D
Shout Man Overboard ?
D
Come across to other girls
D
Look around and start a rumour
D
Jealous wife scenes raise a smile a parties
C
Like anal humour
C D
Are you addicted to attention ?
D
Do you do it for effect ?
D
You're wet, out of control, misunderstood and hen-pecked
