[Verse]
E
Standing in the dock at Southampton
Trying to get to Holland or France
E7
The Man In the Mac said
You gotta go back
you know they didnt even give us a chance
[Chorus]
A
Christ, you know it ain't easy
E
You know how hard it can be
B7
The way things are going ...
E
They're gonna crucify me.
[Verse]
E
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honeymooning down by the Seine
E7
Peter Brown called to say,
"You can make it okay"
"You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain!"
[Chorus]
A
Christ, you know it ain't easy
E
You know how hard it can be
B7
The way things are going ...
E
They're gonna crucify me.
[Verse]
E
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
E7
The newspapers said,
"What are you doing in bed?"
I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace!"
[Chorus]
A
Christ, you know it ain't easy
E
you know how hard it can be
B7
the way things are going ...
E
They're gonna crucify me.
[Bridge]
A
Saving all your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to charity
B7
last night the wife said
Oh boy when you're dead
B
You don't take nothing with you but your soul
E
Think!
[Verse]
E
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
E7
The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag!"
[Chorus]
A
Christ, you know it ain't easy
E
You know how hard it can be
B7
The way things are going ...
E
They're gonna crucify me.
[Verse]
E
Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
E7
The men from the press say "We wish you success
It's good to have the both of you back!"
[Chorus]
A
Christ, you know it ain't easy
E
You know how hard it can be
B7
The way things are going ...
E
They're gonna crucify me.
