[Verse]
Wake up in the morning you feel out 
     Am
of place

You're a disgrace
      Gm            Fsus4  C    F
Once more with resigna-----tion

The world won't appreciate greatness
    Am
 today

But there's bills to be paid
         Gm          Fsus4  C    Gm7
So you stumble to the sta-----tion

[Pre-Chorus]
You're wearing your most 
                C*
imperceptible frown
These people are adjectives to your 
          Gm7
proper noun
As you wash through the streets of 
                C*
this phony old town

It's wearing you down


Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
                  F
And yet there you are
          C                        
Standing out in your favourite blue
   Dm
 dress
           Fsus4
Hair is a mess
             F
Nevertheless
     C         Dm  Fsus4

[Verse]
You casually shed poetry like your 
  Am
clothes

In neat little rows
         Gm          Fsus4  C    F
On the floor of my hotel    room

You'd always dreamed that you'd be a
      Am
 princess

But you'd accept less
         Gm                   
Holding court holed-up in your 
  Fsus4  C    Gm7
be-----droom


[Pre-Chorus]
And I'd say I was Antony begging at 
      C*
your door
But I know that you'd laugh and just
               Gm7
 ask me what for
And then just roll your eyes as I 
           C*
fell the floor

And swear that I'm yours


[Chorus]
                  F
And yet there you are
          C                        
Standing out in your favourite blue
   Dm
 dress
           Fsus4
Hair is a mess
             F
Nevertheless
