E+
Once again,
Am7
I'm in trouble with my
E+
only friend
Am7                  Cm
She is papering the window panes
                     Gm
She is putting on a smile
                 F#dim
Living in a glasshouse

And once again,
packed like frozen food and battery hens
Think of all the starving millions
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones
Your royal highnesses

Chorus:
Am       E          E7      F              Am
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Am       E          E7       F                Am
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Am       E          E7      F              Am
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
                        E+
but someone's listening in

Once again we are hungry for a lynching
That's a strange mistake to make
You should turn the other cheek
Living in a glasshouse

Chorus:
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat

   C    C/B  Am E F
   Only only only
   Only only only
   Only only only
   Only only only

Am
There's someone listening in
