[Verse 1]
Em EmM7
Haven't done as well as I thought I would,
Em7 Em6/C#
I'm not dead, but I'm ...damaged goods,
C/G B7
And it's getting late,
Em EmM7
I'm a rusty hinge, a squeeky wheel,
Em7 Em6/C#
At the ...bad end of a shaky deal,
C/G B7
Cursed by the hand of fate!
[Chorus]
Em EmM7 Em7 Em6/C#
And...a - oo----, oo----, oo----, woh, oh - oh,
C/G B7 B7sus4 B7
I'm a very lucky girl,
Em EmM7 Em7 Em6/C#
Yeah... a - oo----, oo----, oo----, hoo - oo,
C/G B7 Em Emadd9 Em Emadd9 Em
Hel - lo, cruel world!
[Verse 2]
Em EmM7
I'm a ticking clock, a losing bet,
Em7 Em6/C#
I'm a ...girl without a safety net,
C/G B7
I'm a cause for some con - cern,
Em EmM7
Don't live this long with - out regrets,
Em7 Em6/C#
Telephone calls you don't wanna get,
C/G B7
Stones you'd rather leave un - turned!
[Chorus]
Em EmM7 Em7 Em6/C#
But... a - oo----, oo----, oo----, woh, oh - oh,
C/G B7 B7sus4 B7
The grain of sand becomes the pearl,
Em EmM7 Em7 Em6/C#
Yeah... a - oo----, oo----, oo----, hoo - oo,
C/G B7 Em
Hel - lo, cruel world!

[Verse 3]
Em EmM7
Some folks go the easy route,
Em7 Em6/C#
Numb the pain, and put the lights out,
C/G B7
Either way, they got to go,
Em EmM7
Me? I'm gonna stick around,
Em7 Em6/C#
In for a penny, in for a pound,
C/G B7
'Cause I hate to miss the show!
[Chorus]
Em EmM7 Em7 Em6/C#
And ...a - oo----, oo----, oo----, woh, oh - oh,
