With kudos to the previous version upon which I have based this, thanks to Mikhailo. I think there are a few
changes needed and some additional chords to make it sound right, notably in the chorus. Also re-positioned
chords to match with the words where the chord changes take place and added the single worded outro.
My first tab guys so I welcome constructive feedback.

[verse]
A E F#m
if you get out before September
C#m D A
remember that I'm still inside
B E
but I'm dry I'm dry
A E F#m
and you when you try to make a difference
C#m D A
you're so different and then I try
B E
and just die I die
A E
You know that I need
F#m
you more than I want ya
C#m D
but I want ya for all time
E A
so I'm I guess on the line.
[chorus]
D Dm A A7
its all that I can do to sing-these stupid songs to you
D Dm A A7
I give up half my time just trying-to think up words that rhyme
D Dm A F#m
I aint getting any younger but you wouldn't know
G E
so its on with the show
[verse]
A E F#m
Sometimes a smoke a drink and a ponder
C#m D
can work wonders when you're down
A B E
takes your frown turns it round around
A E F#m
and you when you try to make a difference
C#m D A
you're no different than when I try
B E
and just die I die
A E F#m
and now that your day dream is forgotten
C#m D
and forgiven and the world
E A
has been saved be brave
[chorus]
D Dm A A7
its all that I can do to sing-these stupid songs to you
D Dm A A7
I give up half my time just trying-to think up words that rhyme
D Dm A F#m
I aint getting any younger but you wouldn't know
G F#m
cos i walk in shadow
G F#m
and i never ever ever really showed my face
G A
