Verse 1
Bb
What nex t?
Take one.
The problems of the modern man
Eb
Are infinitely complex
Bb
Eb
Bb
I wake up every morning
Db
Bb
Db
Wondering what I should do next
Bb
So sitting up most cautiously
Eb
Bb
Slowly I stretch and shake my head,
Ab
Eb
Bb
All tense now, for I must decide
Db

Which side to leave the bed.

The point to first consider is
Eb

The side of the bed most near.

My nights are full of terror,
Eb

my days are getting worse.
Ab

It seems I never can decide
Db
which sock to put on first.
