  Capo on 2 
  
  [pedal A; verse chords by organ]
  
  Why was I born today?
  Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
  I never had a chance
  But opportunity's now in my hands
  
               G/A
  I stand with my guitar
        D/A                   F/A
  All I need's a mirror, then I'm a star
  A              G/A
  I'm so sick of dud TV
  D/A                         F/A       Bsus2/F#
  Next time you switch on you might see me (oh, what a thrill for ya)
  
       F#                 
  I've been there and gone there
    Esus4    
  I lived there and bummed there
    C#            
  I spinned there, I gave there
    Bsus2             C#
  I drank there and I slaved there
  
  [pedal A]
       G/A               D/A                       D/A A  D/A D
  I've had enough of the way things have been done
  G/A            D/A           D/A A  D/A A
  Every man on a razor's edge
  G/A                    D/A                     D/A A  D/A A
  Someone has used us to kill with the same gun
  G/A                   D/A       Bsus2/F#
  Killing each other by driving a wedge
  
  F#m     
  
     D               E(no3rd)        Bsus2
  My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
  F#m          D             E(no3rd)      Bsus4
  I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass
  
  B...
  
  C# D E
  
  [repeat from top]
  
  Why was I born today?
  Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
  I didn't get a chance
  But opportunity's is in my hands
  
  I stand with my guitar
  I need a mirror, then I'm a star
  I'm so sick of dud TV
  Next time you switch on you might see me 
  
  I've been there and gone there
  I lived there and bummed there
  I spinned there, I gave there
  I drank there and I slaved there
  
  I've had enough of the way things have been done
  Every man on a razor's edge
  Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun
  We were killing each other by driving a wedge
  
  My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
  I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass
  
  B     su2 B            sus2   B   A          E         B
  Don't worry, smile and dance, you just can't work life out
  B     su2 B             sus2  B    A        E        F#  F#sus4  F#
  Don't let down moods entrance you, take the wine and shout
  
  My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
  I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass
