Real Late Starter

Bm
I woke up late today
E
Actually I do that everyday
Am
Got no place to be seen

I’m not part of a scene
G
I’m a genius loser
Keeping counsel with my own opinion
     Bm

                           E
President of the state that I’m in
               Am
Should I just stay in bed?

Should I live in my head?
     G
Oh God so many questions to ask

Oh you could call me lazy
I think of it as taking my time
‘Cos I don’t want to do what I don’t
 want to do
I’m the queen refusenik

[CHORUS]
         Bm                        
But - oh my God - if I was somebody
                                   E
 I’d be doing it all just fine

But I’m a real late starter
            D                      
So I’m making up for lost time
   A

Bm                                
Oh my God - if I was somebody 
                                E
you’d be kissing my arse right now
            C        G            
But I’m so polite - I do it all of
      D           A
 the time
                   C            G
I missed my calling in life
Bm
Oh well.

Day by day I wonder
If I will be torn asunder
By these things that I know that 
nobody else knows
Or maybe it’s the drinking
I guess we should consult a Bible
Everybody needs a sign - or
Bless the birds and the bees
The flowers and trees
And blessed be the slacker

[Chorus]
But - oh my God - if I was somebody 
I’d be doing it all just fine
But I’m a real late starter
So I’m making up for lost time
Oh my God - if I was somebody you’d 
be kissing my arse right now
But I’m so polite - I do this all of
 the time
I missed my calling in life
       E                           
And you must be having a laugh
    G

 E                                 
Oh God - you’re having a laugh
   G

D                 Am             
No point in worrying if my day´s a 
G
disaster
D               Am               
Inside my little head I’m happy 
   G
ever after
         F#
Yes I am

[Chorus]
Oh my God - if I was somebody I’d be
 doing it all just fine
But I’m a real late starter
So I’m making up for lost time
Oh my God - if I was somebody you’d 
be kissing my arse right now
But I’m so polite
I missed my calling in life

[Chorus]
Oh my God - if I was somebody I’d be
 doing it all just fine
But I’m a real late starter
So I’m making up for lost time
Oh my God - if I was somebody you’d 
be kissing my arse right now
But I’m so polite - I do this all of
 the time
I missed my calling in life
Oooh - what of my life?
Yeah well.
