G                      Em
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
     Am                        D
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
       G                            Em
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
     Am               D
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

G      Em
In my life
Am                      D
Why do I give valuable time
    G                       Em        Am   D
To people who don't care if I live or die?

( G  Em  Am  D )

     G               Em
Two lovers entwined pass me by
     Am                        D
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
       G                           Em
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
     Am                D
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

G      Em
In my life
    Am                      D
Oh, why do I give valuable time
    G                       Em        Am   D
To people who don't care if I live or die?

( G  Em  Am  D )

          G                 Em
What she asked of me at the end of the day
   Am                D
Caligula would have blushed
           G                     Em
Oh, you've been in the house too long, she said
     Am           D
And I  naturally fled

G      Em
In my life
Am       D
Why do I smile
   G                     Em           Am       D
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?

       G                      Em
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
     Am                        D
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
           G                     Em
Oh, you've been in the house too long, she said
      Am           D
And I... naturally fled

G      Em
In my life
    Am                      D
Oh, why do I give valuable time
    G                       Em        Am   D
To people who don't care if I live or die?
