[Cm] [G]
[Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
If I [Cm] give up the seat I've been [G] saving to [Eb] some elderly lady [Ab] or man,
[Bb] Am I being a good boy, am I?
Your [Eb] bride and your mother, [Fm] please, if you please say I am.
[Eb]
[Cm] And if while in the course [G] of my duty I [Eb] perform an [Ab] unfortunate deed,
Would [Bb] you punish me so, unforgivably [Eb] so?
[Fm] Never again will I make that [Eb] mistake.
This [Bbm] feeling inside me could never deny me [Eb] the right to be loved if [Ab] I choose.
[Abm] And this pleasure I get [Eb] from, say, dreaming of bed this [F] close.
[Db] [Eb]
When [Cm] I'm drinking my bone-a [G]-pot shandy, [Eb] eating more than enough [Ab] apple pies,
Will I [Bb] glance at my screen and see real [Eb] human beasts [Fm] after death right in front of [Db] my eyes?
[Eb]
[Cm] Nothing old, nothing new, [G] nothing ventured, [Eb]
nothing gained, [Ab] nothing stillborn or lost.
[Bb] Nothing further than proof, nothing [Eb] wilder than you, [Fm] nothing older than time,
[Bb] Nothing sweeter than wine, [G] nothing physically, [Cm] recklessly, hopelessly blind.
[Ab] Nothing I couldn't say, nothing [Bb] why I caused today, [Eb] nothing rhymes.
