Verse
              Gm                 Cm                 F
Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense in fighting
              Gm                 Cm               F
Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense at all
              Gm                 Cm                  F
Sitting on a fence is a man who strokes his twenty beards
              Gm                 Cm               F
Sitting on a fence is a man who only drinks real ale

Pre-Chorus
         Gm    Cm              F
But the real problem with this man
       Gm      Cm            F
Is he says he can't when he can
       Eb                       Bb
He'd rather not get his hands dirty
       Eb                       D
He'll still be there when he's thirty

Chorus
   Gm             Cm
I told myself to keep my mouth shut
        F
But I still end up saying if and but
   Gm             Cm
I lied to myself right from the start
          F
And I've just worked out that I'm falling apart
