F#m                        A
As merry as the days were long
C#m                        E  F#m A
I was right and you were wrong
F#m                       A
Back at the old grey school
C#m                        E
I would win and you would lose

     C#m              A   G#m F#m A
But you've got everything now
  C#m                  A  G#m F#m
You've got everything now
A          C#m                 E      F#m
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
A          C#m                A
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life

Chorus:
 E        B           A
No, I've never had a job
   B         F#m
Because I've never wanted one
           C#m  A
I've seen you smile
          B                       E  D E B
But I've never really heard you laugh
 A   B     F#m
So who is rich and who is poor?
            C#m A B
I cannot say oh
E  D E B A B
Ah...

F#m
You are your mother's only son
          C#m A           B
And you're a desperate one
E D E B
Oh...

A   B               F#m
But I don't want a lover
                     C#m A
I just want to be seen...
B E D C#m
Oh...
C#m                 F#m  A
In the back of your car

A friendship sadly lost?
Well this is true...and yet, it's false, oh...
But did I ever tell you, by the way?
I never did like your face, oh...

But you've got everything now
You've got everything now
And what a terrible mess I've made of my life
Oh, what a mess I've made of my life

Chorus:
No, I've never had a job
Because I'm too shy
I've seen you smile
But I've never really heard you laugh
So who is rich and who is poor?
I cannot say... oh
Oh...
You are your mother's only son
And you're a desperate one
Oh...
But I don't want a lover
I just want to be tied... oh...

        A              C D E
To the back of your car
D                A     C D
To the back of your car
        E              D
To the back of your car
        A              C  D
To the back of your car
        E              D
To the back of your car
        A              C  D
To the back of your car
 E D
Oh...
