 He~s  just a stereotype
 He  drinks his aging  wines
 He  has girls every  night
 And  he doesn~t  really  exist
 Aaah....
 He  spends his weekends with  whatever floats
 He  forgets the punchline when  he tells a joke
 He  wants to stay out, he doesn~t  want to go home
 Till  his prickly  fingers  are stuck down his throat
 He~s  just a stereotype
 He  drinks his aging  wines
 He  drives home pissed  at night
 And  he listens  to this ever  hour
 Aaah....
 He  drank his fiancee when  he went his peak
 The  doctor said no drink for  seventeen weeks
 He  wants to go out but he  has to stay home
 So  he watches  colour  TV on his own
 He~s  just a stereotype
 He  drinks his aging  wines
 He  drives home pissed  at night
 And  he listens  to his stereo
 
 
 
 
 
 The  toplets are finished
 
 
 
 
 The  cure is complete
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 He  hasn~t had a drink for se-ve-en-teen weeks
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Se-venteen  punks to li-mit his night
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Goes  straight to his head, he ends up in a fight
 The  polices chase him through a  dark rainy night
 The  rest of... with  flashing lights
 His  mom~s waking up, she  hopes he~s alright
 But  he~s wrapped  round the lampost  on Saturday night
 He~s  just a stereotype
 He  drinks his aging  wines
 He  has girls every  night
 And  he doesn~t  really  exist
 Aaah....
 About the bridge, I think I am pretty close. It is just too weird. Anyway,
 to make this more understandable, here i the way how I play the chords:
 
 Cx 4 3 0 2 x <--- notice that this is not really the C# chord
