Lyrics

Af ter (F#m)years of ex pen sive ed u (D7)ca tion,

a (F#m)car full of books and an ti ci (G7)pa tion,

I’m an (F#m)ex pert on Shake speare and that’s a (Em7)hell of a lot, but the (C#)world don’t need schol ars as (C)much as I thought.

May be I’ll go trav ’ling (D7)for a year,

(F#m)find ing my self

or start a ca (G7)reer.

I could (F#m)work for the poor, though I’m (Em7)hun gry for fame, we (C#)all seem so diff ’rent but (C)we’re just the same.

May be go to the gym so I (D7)don’t get fat.

Aren’t (F#m)things more eas y

with a tight six (G7)pack?

(F#m)Who knows the an swers, (Em7)who do you trust?

I (C#)can’t e ven sep a rate (C)love from lust.

May be I’ll move back home and pay (D7)off my loans,

work ing (F#m)nine to five,

an swer ing (G7)phones.

(F#m)Don’t make me live for my (Em7)Fri day nights, (C#)drink ing eight pints and (C)get ting in fights.

I don’t (F#m)want to get up, just (Em7)let me lie in; (C#)leave me a lone, I’m a twen ty some (C)thing.

May be I’ll just (F#maj7)fall in love;

(Bmaj7)that could solve it all.

Phi (Bmaj7)los o phers say

that (F#maj7)that’s e nough;

there (Dmaj7)sure ly must be more,

oo.

Love ain’t the an swer, (D7)nor is work;

the (F#m)truth e ludes me

so much it (G7)hurts.

But I’m (F#m)still hav ing fun and I (Em7)guess that’s the key, I’m a (C#)twen ty some thing and I’ll (C)keep be ing me.

(F#m)Do do and do do and do and do do do do do and do do and do and do do do do do and do do and do and do do do do do and do do and do and do do do do do and do do and do and do do do do do and do do and do and do do do do do and do do and do and do do do do do and do do and do and do do (G7)do.
