[Verse 1]
He [D]had a stroke at the age [G]of 24
It could have been a brilliant [D]career
Painting [Bm]lines in a [A]school that
was [G]too well known
Painting [Bm]lines with a [F#m]friend
[C#]that had gone [G]before

[Verse 2]
[G]She chal[D]lenged everyone [A]to a fight
But [G]the prefects [D]all [A]backed down
And they [G]ran her [D]out of [A]town
Cause [G]she drank and swore an[A]d spoke
Out [G]of turn,

[Verse 3]
she was the [D]vil[E]lage joke
She had [D]a stroke at the age [G]of 24
It could have been a brilliant [D]career
Getting [Bm]cli ents to finance
[F#m]her strategies
[G]

[Verse 4]
Filling [Bm]time in [F#m]on
Safeways on Sat[G]urday
She [E]wears the clothes of an em[A]peror
But [G]her paintings [D]are a [A]sham
And they're go[G]ing [A]for a grand
When [G]the dealers

[Verse 5]
come [A]to view
Do [G]they ever see [D]the [E]real [A]you?[E][A][E]
He had [D]a stroke at the age [Em]of 24
It could [G]have been a brilliant [D]career

[Verse 6]
Selling [Bm]lies to the [A]boys with
the [G]old Dansettes
Pulling [Bm]the wool, playing the fool,
[F#m]it's no won[C#]der t[G]hat
[D]He [E]is dribbling spit [A]tonight
And the [G]one he sen[D]t a[A]way
Was [G]the only

[Verse 7]
one who [A]stayed
With [G]a spoon and a de[D]cent [A]book
And you [G]can tell by the way [D]she
[A]looks he is [G]sorry and res[A]igned
As [G]he wets himsel[D]f for the fin[E]al time
