Bad Wine And Lemon Cake

         G            Bm
I have a little house
Em       D               G       
Close to town but not to the city
 Bm    Em

         D                 G      
Far from home but near my family
Bm    Em

         D                  G      
No water views but so close to the 
Bm
sea
  Em            D            G   
I see, this is how my little life
       Bm     Em  D
 could be
                G             Bm  
And I'm filling it with things
   Em

          D           G        Bm
Like furniture I find on the 
      Em
street
             D                 G  
And all the special things I'd 
      Bm    Em
like to eat
            D               G     
Pictures of people that I'd like 
  Bm          Em
to meet, I'll meet them
           D           Am
While I'm orbiting the world

             D             Am     D
And it's so pretty and so lonely

           G      Bm  Em    
My lovely love affairs are all 
     D                  G   Bm   
scheduled 'round the TV guide
   Em

           D                
And my sex life has all been 
  G     Bm      Em
plagiarized
       D                 G  
In an attempt to meet a harsh 
      Bm    Em   D
deadline
            G          Bm   Em
I'd like to rent a wife
Continues after the ad
             D               G    
Then rent a husband to keep her 
      Bm  Em
for life
             D               G
The three of us, we could be so 
       Bm
happy
Em              D          
Them with each other, me with 
     G   Bm
company
      Em               D          
I'll see them off on a flight 
        Am
around the world

            D              Am   D
And it's so pretty and so lonely
             Am                D
I could just die, I might just die
             Am                D
I could just die, I might just die
          G      Bm    Em
And at my funeral

               D              G   
They will say Tom he was such a 
     Bm   Em
nice guy
             D            G    
He went too early but he went in 
    Bm       Em
style
                 D              G 
They'll play my music and then 
       Bm     Em
they will cry
D                    G         
Then they'll have a little wake
Bm      Em

                  D                
They'll drink bad wine and they'll 
     G        Bm    Em
eat lemon cake
        D               G       
And my mother's little heart will 
   Bm     Em
break
                D                  
And she'll say "Wait there must be 
     G         Bm
must some mistake.
    Em        D       G      Bm 
He can't be dead, take me 
     Em
instead"

D               Em
Oh, but I'm not dead
                      D
They tell me I'm not dead
                          Em
And they say that I'm not dead
                 D
And that I won't die for some time

      G           Bm  Em
In my little house
              D              G    
Just writing little songs to pass 
      Bm    Em
the time
           D                G     
Which incidentally is seven forty 
     Bm    Em
nine
              D          G        
So don't you worry I'm completely 
  Bm      Em
fine, I'm fine
             D           G        
And don't you worry I'm completely
  Bm       Em
 fine, I'm fine
           D          G          
Don't you worry I'm completely 
Bm       Em
fine, I'm fine
          D          G           
Don't you worry I'm completely 
Bm       Em
fine, I'm fine
            D        G          
Don't you worry I'm completely 
Bm         Em
fine, I'm fine
    D               G
I'm just so fucking fine
