Laid here
Asus2 Bsus4 E
With your advertising sliding past my eyes
Asus2 Bsus4 E
Like cartoons from other people's lives
Asus2
I start to wonder
Bsus4 E Asus2 Bsus4
What it takes to be a Man

Well, I learned to drink
Asus2 Bsus4
And I learned to smoke
E
And I learned to tell
Asus2 Bsus4
A dirty joke
E Asus2 Bsus4 E Bsus4
Oh, if that's all there is then there's no point for me
Chorus
E A
So please can I ask just why we're alive
B
'Cos all that you do seems such a waste of time?
A7 E
And if you hang around too long you'll be a ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-an
(Tell me about it!)
E A
Your car can get up to a hundred and ten
B
You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
A7 E
And nothing ever makes no difference to a ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-an
So you stumble into town with your stomach in
Show 'em what you've got (though they've seen everything)
Yeah, you're a beauty, but they've seen your type before, oh
You've got no need
But still you want
To go and book
That restaurant
The wine will flow
B
And then you'll just fly away, yeah
So please can I ask just why we're alive?
'Cos all that you do seems such a waste of time
And if you hang around too long you'll be a ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-an
(Tell me about it!)
Your car can go up to a hundred and ten
You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
And nothing ever makes no difference to a ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-an
Oh, tell me 'bout it!
Please can I ask just why we're alive?
'Cos all that you do seems such a waste of time
And if you hang around too long you'll be a ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-an
(Oh tell, c'mon, tell me about it!)
Your car can get up to a hundred and ten
You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
And nothing ever makes no difference to a ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-an
To a ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-an
To a ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-an
To a man
(That's what I am.)
