Song Structure:

Saul plays the his line above until just before Tim statrs to sing "I'm so wound up in my own ball,"  at which point he starts struming the chords Am, C, Em7.
At about this point Adrian's riff starts to fade in, and it repeats until the end of the song.

Lyrics/Chords:


Am                                 C
Chocolate, kisses, pokemon

                       Em7
Hit them while they're young

     Am
It's true

C               Em7

Am                                 C                    
She has lovers round the block

                    Em7
He works around the clock

     Am
It's true

C               Em7
 

I know it's gonna make it better

Just know it's gonna make it better

 

We could hold a light of grace

Instead we flake

And choose to lose

 

TV, football, sex and killing

Without war, life's not worth living

We play our games with knowing smiles

Unattached we can choose

We choose to lose it every time

 

Now we're heading for a fall

And a double takes it all

A stranger rolls a double five

And everyone's a junkie

 

(I know it's gonna make it better)

Everyone's a junkie

(I know it's gonna make it better)

Everyone's a junkie

(I know it's gonna make it better)

Everyone's a junkie

(I know it's gonna make it better)

I know it's gonna make it better

Just know it's gonna make it better

 

I'm so wound up

In my own ball

I love my life so small

I've lived a life so small

I've done my best

It's time to crawl sideways

To crawl sideways

To leave this apparition

(I know it's gonna make it better)

To leave this apparition

(I know it's gonna make it better)

Cos everyone's a junkie

(I know it's gonna make it better)

Everyone's a junkie

(I know it's gonna make it better)

[repeat to fade]
