D               E
Oh, to get ahead in this world
Bm              
Takes a lot of kind words
E
And ruthless damning actions
D               E
And I hope I never have to hurt you
Bm              E
Though I gladly will do my friend

Bm
And I'll be reading in the kitchen
E               F#
Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be
Bm
Brooding in my bedroom with the
E               F#
Shutters down on me
Bm
And this song is not cathartic
E               F#
Because I've done nothing wrong
Bm              E       F#
It's just a song, it's just a song

D               E
Ah, you see the more you're trying
Bm
The more I know you're lying
E
The more I start to hate the sight of you
D               E
Well tell me what would you do?
Bm              E
Pulled by both arms, nearly torn in two

Bm
And I'll be reading in the kitchen
E               F#
Sipping lazy cups of tea, I won't be
Bm
Crying in my bedroom with the
E               F#
Covers over me
Bm
And this song is not cathartic
E               F#
Because I've done nothing wrong
Bm              E       F#
It's just a song, it's just a song
