[Verse 1]
B
She's got her mothers pride but not her strength
Abm
And the length she'll go to win an argument
D#m C#m
Is long enough but not strong enough for me
E
There's no reasoning to these things
Em
You know the hurt is lasting...
[Chorus]
B
So I
Abm D#m
Gave myself to the sure things
C#m
The simple and the bored things
B
In my
Abm
Wasted wealth
D#m
On the bored things
C#m E B
Those entertaining mornings where I can't see past the door
F# E
When my tie's hung above my trousers balled up on the floor
B
And she's rifling through her drawers
F# E
For a pretty little underthing that'll make me beg for more
C#m D#m
You know she's got a busy day and I'd really love to stay
E
But I got shows to stop and pills to pop so I really must be going babe

[Verse 2]
B Abm
Well I'm wasted on fidelity as I edge upon insanity
D#m C#m
It's just been a battering rhapsody for me
E F# Abm
I'll take lacy covered solace in the hope she might promise all the things that she had mentioned
Em
You can't imagine the potential
[Chorus]
B
So I
Abm D#m
Gave myself to the sure things

The simple and the bored things

Wasted wealth

C#m D#m
You know she's got a busy day and I'd really love to stay
E B Abm
But I got shows to stop and rolls to rock so I really must be going baaaaaaaaaabe
[Outro]
D#m
On the bored things
C#m
The simple and the sure things
B
In my
Abm
Wasted wealth
D#m C#m B
On the bored things
Abm
I drowned myself
D#m
In the sure things
C#m
The simple and the bored things
B
In my
Abm
Wasted wealth
D#m
On the bored things
C#m B
Those entertaining mornings with what's her face
Abm D#m C#m B
I gave myself to the sure things
Abm D#m C#m B
I drowned myself in the sure things
