I'm all lost in the supermarket.

I came in here for the special offer,

a guar-an-teed per-so-nal-i-ty.
Verse 1 & 2:
(between |'s is 1 measure, 2nd and 3rd switches are on counts 3 and 4)
|E B C#m |
I wasn't born so much as I fell out.
|A B E |
Nobody seemed to notice me.
|C#m B A |
We had a hedge back home in the suburb,
|Amaj7 B E |
over which I never could see.
[E]I heard the people who [B]live on the [C#m]ceiling
[A]scream and fight most [B]scari[E]ly.
[C#m]Hearing that noise was my [B]first ever [A]feeling!
[Amaj7]That's how it's been [B]all around [E]me.
(CHORUS) (x1)
Verse 3 & 4:
[E]I'm all tuned in, I [B]see all the [C#m]programs.
[A]I save coupons from [B]packets of [E]tea.
[C#m]I've got my giant hit [B]discotheque [A]album!
[Amaj7]I empty a bottle, I [B]feel a bit [E]free.
[E]The kids in halls and the [B]pipes in the [C#m]walls
[A]make me noises for [B]compa[E]ny.
[C#m]Long distance callers make [B]long distance [A]calls!
[Amaj7]And the silence makes [B]me lone[E]ly.
(CHORUS) (x1)

Intro/Chorus Details w/ Strumming Timing:
Notes: The previous tabs made this so confusing. The basic chords seem simple enough.
They are just a little repetitive and get spiced up a bit. I wouldn't take it too
seriously as this is mostly a very simple song.

I was surprise there wasn't a decent tab in this site for this song. Hopefully, this is one.
If not, let me have it - you Clash fans seem pretty picky/nasty.
