Intro: F

F                   God, I dreamed there was an angel
F                   Who could hear me through the wall
F7             As I cried out, like in Latin,
F7              "This is so not life at all.
Bb7            Help me out-out-of this nightmare"
Bb7              Then I heard her silver call.
BbmShe said: "Just give it time, kid.
BbmI come to one and all"

FShe said: "Give me that hand, please,
FAnd the itch you can't control.
F7Let me teach you how to handle
F7All the sadness in your soul.
Bb7Oh, we'll work that silver magic
Bb7Then we'll aim it at the wall"
BbmShe said: "Love may make you blind kid,
BbmBut I wouldn't mind at all."

         Am  It's the bitch of living (bitch, just the bitch)

         BbAs someone you can't stand

FSee, each night, it's like fantastic
FTossing, turning, without rest,
F7'Cause my days at the piano
F7With my teacher and her breasts;
Bb7And the music's like the one thing
Bb7I can even get at all
BbmAnd those breasts!
BbmI mean, God, please just let those apples fall

         AmIt's the bitch of living (bitch, ah, ah, ah)

         BbAsking: what went wrong?

AmDo they think we want this?

FSee, there's showering in gym class...
F7Bobby Maler, he's the best...
Bb7Looks so nasty in those khakis...
BbmGod, my whole life's like some test.
FThen there's Marianna Wheelan,
F7As if she'd return my call.
Bb7It's like just kiss some ass, man,
BbmThen you can screw 'em all.
