Jacqueline was seventeen, [Bb] working on a [Ab] desk when I
[Gm] Forepeered above a spectacle, forgot [Bb] that he'd wrecked a girl
[Cm]
Sometimes [Ab] these eyes [Gm] forget the face they're peering from
[Bb] When the face they peer upon
[G] Well you know, that [Cm] face says I do
[Ab] And how in the return of the gaze
[Gm] She can return you the face that [Cm] you are staring from

So [Eb] much better [Bb] on [C] holiday
That's why [Eb] we [Gm] only work [C] when [Eb] we need [C] the money
It's [Eb] always [Gm] better on [C] holiday
So [Eb] much better [Bb] on [C] holiday
That's why [Eb] we only work [C] when we [Eb] [Gm] need the money
Break a verse, now to get sad
[Ab] Come on, kiss me and get [Bb] sad
I'm so drunk, I don't mind Kill me
[C] I'm cut off, [Ab] I'm hopeless
And [Bb] I'm alive
Oh I'm alive

I'm [C] a whiz, [Ab] on my new shifts, [Bb] prepared for free
