 I have a little  house
Close  to town  but not to the  city
 Far from home  but near my family
 No water views  but so close to  the sea
 I see,  this is how  my little life  could be
 And I'm filling it  with things
 Like furniture  I find on  the street
 And all the special  things I'd like  to eat
 Pictures of people  that I'd like  to meet,  I'll meet  them
 While I'm orbiting  the world
 And it's so pretty  and so lonely
 My lovely love  affairs  are all scheduled  'round the TV  guide
 And my sex life  has all been plagiarized
 In an attempt  to meet a harsh  deadline
 I'd like to rent  a wife
 Then rent a husband  to keep her  for life
 The three of us,  we could be so  happy
Them  with each other,  me with company
 I'll see  them off on a flight  around the world
 And it's so pretty  and so lonely
 I could just die,  I might just die
 I could just die,  I might just die
 And at my funeral
 They will say Tom  he was such a  nice guy
 He went too early  but he went  in style
 They'll play my music  and then they  will cry
Then  they'll have a little  wake
 They'll drink bad wine  and they'll eat lemon  cake
 And my mother's  little heart  will break
 And she'll say "Wait  there must be must some  mistake.
 He can't  be dead,  take  me instead"
Oh,  but I'm not dead
 They tell me I'm not dead
 And they say that I'm not dead
 And that I won't die  for some time
 In my little  house
 Just writing little  songs to pass  the time
 Which incidentally  is seven forty  nine
 So don't you worry  I'm completely  fine,  I'm fine
 And don't you  worry I'm completely  fine,  I'm fine
 Don't you worry  I'm completely  fine,  I'm fine
 Don't you worry  I'm completely  fine,  I'm fine
 Don't you worry  I'm completely  fine,  I'm fine
 I'm just  so fucking fine.
 *= I'm not sure if this is right.

I have a [G]little house [Bm]
[Em]Close to [D]town but not to [G]the city [Bm]       [Em]
Far from [D]home but near my f[G]amily  [Bm]        [Em]
No water [D]views but so close [G]to the [Bm]sea
I [Em]see, this is h[D]ow my little [G]life could [Bm]be     [Em]         [D]
And I'm filling [G]it with things[Bm]       [Em]
Like furni[D]ture I find [G]on the st[Bm]reet    [Em]
And all the s[D]pecial things I'd [G]like to e[Bm]at    [Em]
Pictures of [D]people that I'd [G]like to [Bm]meet, I'll m[Em]eet them
While I'm o[D]rbiting the w[Em]orld
And it's so pr[D]etty and so lon[Em]ely    [D]
My lovely l[G]ove aff[Bm]airs[Em] are all sc[D]heduled 'round the [G]TV g[Bm]uide    [Em]
And my sex [D]life has all been p[G]lagiar[Bm]ized    [Em]
In an a[D]ttempt to meet a h[G]arsh dead[Bm]line  [Em]       [D]
I'd like to [G]rent a wife[Bm]     [Em]
Then rent a h[D]usband to keep h[G]er for life[Bm]    [Em]
The three of [D]us, we could be [G]so happy[Bm]
[Em]Them with each o[D]ther, me with co[G]mpan[Bm]y
I'll s[Em]ee them off on a [D]flight around the wo[Em]rld
And it's so p[D]retty and so lo[Em]nely [D]
I could just [Em]die, I might just [D]die
I could just [Em]die, I might just [D]die
And at my [G]funeral[Bm]      [Em]
They will say T[D]om he was such [G]a nice gu[Bm]y    [Em]
He went too e[D]arly but he w[G]ent in st[Bm]yle      [Em]
They'll play my m[D]usic and then t[G]hey will [Bm]cry    [Em]
[D]Then they'll have a l[G]ittle wake[Bm]        [Em]
They'll drink bad [D]wine and they'll eat l[G]emon cake[Bm]      [Em]
And my m[D]other's little h[G]eart will b[Bm]reak   [Em]
And she'll say "[D]Wait there must be must [G]some mista[Bm]ke.
He c[Em]an't be de[D]ad, take[G] me ins[Bm]tead"   [Em]
[D]Oh, but I'm not [Em]dead
They tell me I'm not d[D]ead
And they say that I'm not [Em]dead
And that I won't [D]die for some time
In my [G]little house[Bm]    [Em]
Just writing l[D]ittle songs to [G]pass the ti[Bm]me    [Em]
Which incid[D]entally is seven [G]forty nine [Bm]       [Em]
So don't you w[D]orry I'm co[G]mpletely fi[Bm]ne, I'm [Em]fine
And don't you[D] worry I'm c[G]ompletely f[Bm]ine, I'm [Em]fine
Don't you w[D]orry I'm co[G]mpletely fi[Bm]ne, I'm f[Em]ine
Don't you [D]worry I'm c[G]ompletely fi[Bm]ne, I'm f[Em]ine
Don't you wo[D]rry I'm c[G]ompletely f[Bm]ine, I'm fi[Em]ne
I'm [D]just so fucking [G]fine.
