E
I'm all lost in the supermarket.
C#m7
I can no longer shop happily.
A
I came in here for the special offer,
E B E
a guar-an-teed per-so-nal-i-ty.
[Verse 1,2]
(between 's is 1 measure, 2nd and 3rd switches are on counts 3 and 4)
E B C#m
I wasn't born so much as I fell out.
A B E
Nobody seemed to notice me.
C#m B A
We had a hedge back home in the suburb,
Amaj7 B E
over which I never could see.
E B C#m
I heard the people who live on the ceiling
A B E
scream and fight most scarily.
C#m B A
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling!
Amaj7 B E
That's how it's been all around me.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3,4]
E B C#m
I'm all tuned in, I see all the programs.
A B E
I save coupons from packets of tea.
C#m B A
I've got my giant hit discotheque album!
Amaj7 B E
I empty a bottle, I feel a bit free.
E B C#m
The kids in halls and the pipes in the walls
A B E
make me noises for company.
C#m B A
Long distance callers make long distance calls!
Amaj7 B E
And the silence makes me lonely.
[Chorus]

A(maj7)
lost. (I'm all lost)

Intro/Chorus Details w/ Strumming Timing:
Notes: The previous tabs made this so confusing. The basic chords seem simple enough.
They are just a little repetitive and get spiced up a bit. I wouldn't take it too
seriously as this is mostly a very simple song.

I was surprise there wasn't a decent tab in this site for this song. Hopefully, this is one.
If not, let me have it - you Clash fans seem pretty picky/nasty.
