Intro: C C6 C C C6 C
Verse (1):
[C]I know there's a party out there,
Somewhere for [F]crashers and burners to let down their hair,
The [G]red eye reduction is failing production,
Ther[C]e's smoke shadows everywhere.
I co[C]uld go along for a while,
And talk to my [F]friends and their friends and their friends and that smile,
It's [G]not that I'm better, or cooler, or clever,
In fa[C]ct I'm a geek without [C7]style.
Chorus:
The [F]ashtrays are empty, there's shandies aplenty,
I [G]wish I was more rock and [Am]roll.
But my [G]eyes are adrift as my mind wanders off,
Into vi[F]sions of blankets and [C]coal.
The s[F]un sets for reasons it's tired and it's pleasing itsel[G]f,
What an ideal l[Am]ife.
I may [G]look the part but I know in my heart,
That I'd [F]rather be home with the [C]wife.
Verse (2):
The [C]girls hang on necks of the boys,
The boys act all [F]coy with their beer and their cigarettes of joy,
It [G]takes me way back to a time when I'd stay when I'm young,
And that was just [C]yesterday.
There's [C]nothing wrong with the affair,
It's just that my [F]hair is all tangled in need of repair,
I m[G]ay get some glasses and sell backstage passes
To t[C]hose who can deal with the n[C7]oise.
Chorus
Bridge:
[C]La la la lai la l[F]ai, la la lai lai la l[C]ai,
La la la lai la [G]lai, la la lai lai la l[C]ai.
La la la lai la [F]lai, la la lai lai la l[G]ai,
La la la lai la [Am]lai,
Chorus:
Oh I m[G]ay look the part but I know in my heart
That I'd [F]rather be home with the [C]wife.
Bridge:
La la la lai lai l[F]ai, la la lai, la la lai lai, la la la lai l[G]ai,
La la lai lai lai [Am]lai,
Chorus:
Oh I [G]may look the part but I know in my heart
That I'd r[F]ather be home with the wi[C]fe. x3
