Em    B7        Em
Sick, tired and homeless
     F#             B7
with no one here to sing for
Em    B7       Em
tired of being weightless
    F#                B7      Em B7 Em
for all these looking good boys

Chorus:
Am      D             G              Em
You can always say my attic has its charm
Am      D               G            Em
You can always say you did no major harm
Am7     D               D#dim            Em
You can always say that summer had its charm
              G      D     C   Am7
and that you did no major harm
      D               G   B7
Oh, spare me if you please

Sick, tired and sleepless
With no one else to shine for
Sick of all my distress
But I won't show I'm still poor

Chorus:
You can always say my attic has its charm
You can always say you did no major harm
You can always say that summer had its charm
And that you did no major harm
Oh, spare me if you please

You can always say my attic has its charm
You can always say you did no major harm
You can always say that summer had its charm
And that you did no major harm
You can always say that
You can always say that
Oh, spare me if you please

Symptoms are so deep
Something here's so wrong
Nothing is complete
Nowhere to belong
Symptoms are so deep
I think I'd better stay
Here on my own
So spare me if you please
