Well there's a band on every corner 
    A          E 
but I'm not in one 
       A 
I hate 3 out of every 4 of them 
      E          B E 
But I havent got a gun 
      E 
I was ten hours asleep 
      A            E 
but I stayed in my room 
     A             
I forgot to remember 
       E      B  E 
what I wanted to do. 
 
       E 
As the glare turns to twilight 
   A                E 
my thoughts turn to food 
         A   
Yeah and what the hell happened 
       E       B   E 
to the girl in the nude 
       E         
Ah she gave me a pill 
            A             E 
She said it helped her in bed 
       A    
When I lay down beside her 
        E          B  E 
couldnt even raise my head 
 
C#m            E 
What a fool am I 
         Abm          A 
Cause my dream was so bright 
        E        Esus4  E 
But I'm drowning in the city 
        B          E 
With no saviour in sight 
 
 
 
 
 
          E 
Well this night I'll go walking 
         A            E 
Like the truth its so near 
        A 
I'll be back I imagine 
       E        B   E 
to the boys and to the beer 
          E 
There's a hole in my belly 
          A            E 
I try and fill it with food 
     A 
So I order a pizza 
        E           B  E 
and the pizza-maker is rude 
 
C#m          E 
Lady in the jacket 
           Abm        A 
Is looking just how I feel 
     E        Esus4  E 
So I sigh in my corner 
        B          E 
and I ask for the bill.

There's a band on every corner 
       A          E 
I only play in my room 
          A 
where the filth is familiar 
         E      B  E 
and the piano's in tune.
