Woke up this morning,
started to sneeze
G 
Am 
Had a cigarette and a cup of tea
I looked in the mirror, what did I see?

Am 
A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
I did my knees bend, press ups,
touched my toes
G

Had another sneeze and I blew my nose
I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
G 
I had to pull on my clothes
Am 
because it made me depressed

Woke up this morning, what did I see?

A big black cloud hanging over me
I switched on the radio
and nearly dropped dead

The news was so bad that
Am 
I fell out of bed
There was a gas strike, oil strike,
lorry strike, red strike
G 
Am 
Gotta be a superman to survive
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
G 
Am 
I'm such a wreck but I'm staying alive
Hey girl, we gotta get out
of this place

There's gotta be something

better than this
I need you but I hate to see you this way

If I  was Superman then
Am 
I'd fly you away
