[Verse 1]
F#m                        A
As merry as the days were long
C#m                         E
I was right and you were wrong
F#m F#m F#m A

F#m                       A
Back at the old grey school
C#m                        E
I would win and you would lose
F#m F#m F#m A

[Bridge]
     C#m             A     G#m        F#m A
But you've got everything now
  C#m                  A  G#m       F#m
You've got everything now
 A          C#m                 E          F#m
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
 A          C#m               A
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life


[Chorus 1]
 E        B           A
No, I've never had a job
    B         F#m
Because I've never wanted one
            C#m A
I've seen you smile
          B                       E      D    E B
But I've never really heard you laugh

A   B      F#m
So who is rich and who is poor?
                C#m A     B
I cannot say... oh
E      D
Ah...
E B A B

F#m
You are your mother's only son
          C#m A               B
And you're a desperate one
E       D
Oh...
E B

A   B               F#m
But I don't want a lover
                      C#m A
I just want to be seen...
B     E     D     C#m
Oh...
C#m                 F#m       A
In the back of your car


[Verse 2]
F#m                        A
A friendship sadly lost?
 C#m                     E
Well this is true...and yet, it's false
F#m          A
Oh...
F#m          A
            And did I ever
F#m                       A
Tell you, by the way?
   C#m                 E
I never did like your face
F#m      A
Oh...

[Bridge]
     C#m             A     G#m        F#m A
But you've got everything now
  C#m                  A  G#m       F#m
You've got everything now
 A          C#m                 E          F#m
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
 A          C#m               A
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life


[Chorus 2]
 E        B           A
No, I've never had a job
    B         F#m
Because I'm too shy
            C#m A
I've seen you smile
          B                       E      D    E B
But I've never really heard you laugh

A   B      F#m
So who is rich and who is poor?
                C#m A     B
I cannot say... oh
E      D
Ah...
E B A B

F#m
You are your mother's only son
          C#m A               B
And you're a desperate one
E       D
Oh...
E B

A   B               F#m
But I don't want a lover
                      C#m A
I just want to be tied...
B
oh...
