Fm     A#  Fm        A#    Fm        A#
Middle-aged, do the low rise on the waist
Fm      A#
London half-life
Middle-aged, you the low-riser?
A little over wise, up late

And if you compromised
Drive your car through the rain
And if you've been beaten
Drive your car through the rain
Until you wash off the boss
Don't pull over 'til you're sure

           D#         A#
One that wanted the floor
          Cm               A#
One that won't know the street
          D#        A#
One that wanted to land
        Cm              B
On the hearth with his feet up

Won't watch out
You're only better off in half your life
Over wise wasted
Over wise wasted
House of cards, you fall hard
