         Em                     Em(maj7)
Haven't done quite as well as I thought I would,
Em7                  Em6/C#             C/G                  B7
I'm not dead, but I'm...  damaged goods,   and it's getting late,
        Em           Em(maj7)
I'm a rusty hinge, a squeeky wheel, 
       Em7             Em6/C#      C/G                        B7
At the... bad end of a shaky deal,     cursed by the hand of fate,

           Em     Em(maj7)   Em7      Em6/C#     C/G                   B7
And.. a - ooo-----,ooo-----, ooo-----, woh - oh,     I'm a very lucky girl,
            Em     Em(maj7)    Em7       Em6/C#

C/G        B7          Em   Em(maj7)  Em7   Em6/C#
     Hel - lo, cruel world!         |  /  /  /  / |


        Em             Em(maj7)
I'm a ticking clock, a losing bet,

I'm a... girl without a safety net,     I'm a cause for some con - cern,
       Em                  Em(maj7)         Em7                    Em6/C#
Don't live this long with - out regrets, telephone calls you don't wanna get,  
C/G                            B7
     Stones you'd rather leave... unturned,

            Em     Em(maj7)   Em7       Em6/C#
But... a - ooo-----,ooo-----, ooo-----, woh - oh,
C/G                                 B7
     The grain of sand becomes the pearl,
             Em      Em(maj7)  Em7       Em6/C#   
Yeah... a - ooo-----,ooo-----, ooo-----, ooo-----,
C/G        B7         Em   Em(maj7) Em7   Em6/C#  C/G      (Cadd9)  B7

Some folks go the easy route,

Numb the pain, and put the lights out,     either way, they got to go,
Em             Em(maj7)      Em7             Em6/C#
Me?  I'm gonna stick around, in for a penny, in for a pound,  
C/G                            B7
    'Cause I hate to miss the show,
