Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  woke up late today
Actually  I do that everyday
Got  no place to be seen
 I’m not part of a scene
I’m  a genius loser
 Keeping counsel with my own opinion
 President of the state that  I’m in
 Should I just stay  in bed?
 Should I live in my head?
 Oh God  so many questions to ask
 Oh you could call me lazy
 I think of it as taking my time
 ‘Cos I don’t want to do what I don’t want to do
 I’m the queen refusenik
 But - oh my  God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine
 But I’m a real late  starter
 So I’m making  up for lost time
Oh  my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now
 But I’m so polite  – I  do it all of the time
 I missed my calling  in life
Oh  well.
 Day by day I wonder
 If I will be torn asunder
 By these things that I know that nobody else knows
 Or maybe it’s the drinking
 I guess we should consult a Bible
 Everybody needs a sign - or
 Bless the birds and the bees
 The flowers and trees
 And blessed be the slacker
 But - oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine
 But I’m a real late starter
 So I’m making up for lost time
 Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now
 But I’m so polite – I do this all of the time
 I missed my calling in life
 And you  must be having a laugh
 Oh  God – you’re having a laugh
No  point in worrying  if my day´s  a disaster
Inside  my little  head I’m happy ever  after
 Yes I am
 Oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine
 But I’m a real late starter
 So I’m making up for lost time
 Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now
 But I’m so polite
 I missed my calling in life
 Oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine
 But I’m a real late starter
 So I’m making up for lost time
 Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now
 But I’m so polite – I do this all of the time
 I missed my calling in life
 Oooh – what of my life?
 Yeah well.

[Bm]I woke up late today
[E]Actually I do that everyday
[Am]Got no place to be seen

I’m not part of a scene
[G]I’m a genius loser
Keeping counsel with my own opinion      [Bm]
President of the state that[E] I’m in
Should I just s[Am]tay in bed?

Should I live in my head?
Oh Go[G]d so many questions to ask

Oh you could call me lazy
I think of it as taking my time
‘Cos I don’t want to do what I don’t want to do
I’m the queen refusenik

But - oh [Bm]my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine     [E]
But I’m a real [C]late starter  [G]
So I’m makin[D]g up for lost time        [A]
[Bm]Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now  [E]
But I’m so p[C]olite – I[G] do it all of the t[D]ime         [A]
I missed my calling[C] in life     [G]
[Bm]Oh well.

Day by day I wonder
If I will be torn asunder
By these things that I know that nobody else knows
Or maybe it’s the drinking
I guess we should consult a Bible
Everybody needs a sign - or
Bless the birds and the bees
The flowers and trees
And blessed be the slacker

But - oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine
But I’m a real late starter
So I’m making up for lost time
Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now
But I’m so polite – I do this all of the time
I missed my calling in life
And you[E] must be having a laugh         [G]
O[E]h God – you’re having a laugh        [G]
[D]No point in worryi[Am]ng if my day&ac[G]ute;s a disaster
[D]Inside my little[Am] head I’m happy ever[G] after
Yes I am [F#]

Oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine
But I’m a real late starter
So I’m making up for lost time
Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now
But I’m so polite
I missed my calling in life

Oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine
But I’m a real late starter
So I’m making up for lost time
Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now
But I’m so polite – I do this all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Oooh – what of my life?
Yeah well.
