[Verse 1]
[E]Oh I'm
back in the full effect I
[Em]can 't even hold m[E]yself erect
I got [Em]nothing that I want to say
I'm gonna s[F]ay it anyway
I know you [Em]think that I've
[E]lost it, baby
I know you think that my [Em]star [E]is fading
Used to be a contender
Now you're just [Em]a pretender
[F]Psychic
karaoke every weekend
You don't [Em]fit those [E]clothes
anymore
Why don't you take them back
to the charity store
While [Em]you're there you could always
hand yourself in
[F]You're into green issues - start recycling
You hide be[E]hind your woman
when you're [Em]out [E]in your town
Show her up and [Em]blame her
[E]for holding [Em]you down
Holding you down, holding you down
[F]You're the only one who's
holding you down
You're only [Em]ever [E]polite
when you're out of your box
Cocker's short [Em]for... suck[F]er
Sucker o[Em]f...[Edim]
[Am]Oh, oh
La na [F]na na
Oh, oh Sucker of...
Oh, oh La na na na[Em]
[Edim]Oh, oh[Am][F]
[Em]When I got u[E]p today
I had that feeling again
[Em]Everything was OK,
then the world started [E]shaking
[Em]Now I'm trying to sleep it away Oh[F]
but I can't sleep it away
Can you [Em]an swer this q[E]uestion,
can you answer it right:
Have you ever [Em]done anything
good in your life?
Have you ever done anything
that wasn't just for yourself?
Are you [F]capable of giving? Are you
capable
of giving [Am]just for the [F]sake of it,
without expecting anything [Am]in return?[F]
[Em]I'm only trying to give you what
you've come to expect
Just another song 'bout single
mothers and sex
Single mothers and sex,
single mothers and sex
Just another song 'bout single
mothers and sex
OK, you've heard it before,
it's nothing special
But it's a living,
can't you see
I'm a professional
[Edim]Oh, oh[Am][F]
La na na na Oh, oh

Oh, oh La na

[Edim]Oh, oh[Em][Am][F]
[Em]
Sleep on m[Edim]y darlin[Am]g
Sleep [F]on, don't wake as I [Em]leave
I've been rehearsing this scene so long n[Edim]ow
[Am]Don't interrupt me as I do it fo[F]r real
[Em]
The bedroom floor is treacherous
A teacup could be [Am]disastrous
''cause it'll mean I would have to say
[F]What was written on the
letter I posted yes[Em]terday
So that it would get here [Edim]When
I was gone
And you a[Am]woke[F][E]
[Em][E][F]
Oh, she'll [Em]meet me from [E]the train
And she'll never know a thing
[C]About how I talk with my mouth full And
[F]only bath [Em]once a week
[F]How I'm nicer the first time
you meet me than [E]the next
And I'm rap[Em]idly losing [E]interest [Em]in sex
Yeah, I'm rapidly losing interest i[F]n sex
[Em]What's the point in making it over-emotional?
[E]You can do it the hard way[Em][F]
Or you can be [Em]a professional
