Alright, okay this song, this thing happens when we play this song all over the world.
It has the word balcony in it because it's called Balcony Man.
[C] [N]
When I sing the word balcony in theatres that have balconies all over the world, overseas, literally,
the people in the balconies lose their fucking shit.
It sounds like a dumb idea but they're doing it all over the world.
So like, balcony!
They do it louder than that overseas.
They did it louder than that in fucking Castlemaine.
Balcony!
[Bb]
What am I to believe?
I'm the [Ab] balcony man.
[Eb]
[Bb] Where everything is ordinary until it's not, I'm the [G] motherfucking balcony man.
I'm the 200 pounds of packed ice, sitting on a chair in the morning sun.
[Gm] I'm [Eb] putting on my tap dancing shoes, my lap dancing shoes, [G] in the [F] morning sun.
[Bb] I'm the balcony man.
I'm Fred Astaire.
[Gm] You think you have a plan till I hit the [Bb] stairs.
I'm a 200 pound bag of blood and bone, [Gm] [D] leaking on your favourite chair.
I [Eb] put on my lap dancing shoes in the [F] morning sun.
[Dm] This morning is amazing and so are you.
[Bb] This morning is amazing and so are you.
[Gm] This morning is amazing and so are you.
[Eb]
In the morning [F] sun.
[Bb] What am I to think on this balcony, Fred?
Where everything is amazing that stays in bed.
I'm a 200 pound octopus under a sheet, [Gm] dancing round [D] your world with my [Gm] hands and [F] feet.
And this much I know to be true.
[Eb] Yeah, this much I know to be true.
[F] Yeah, this much I know to be true.
[Eb] Yeah, this much I know to be true.
[Dm] This morning is amazing and so are [Bb]
[Gm]
[Dm]
you
[Bb] This morning is amazing and so are you
[Gm]
[Eb] You're liquid and ugly and lazy
And what doesn't kill ya
Just makes you [Dm] crazier
[Gm] Oh yeah
[Bb] I'm [Eb]
[F] about [Gm] to be made
[G] [Eb]
[F] I'm about [Gm] to be made
[Eb]
[F] I'm about to be made
[Bb]
[N]
Thank you, good night, thank you for coming
