[Verse]
C
How harsh the herald angels sing
G
I've been puking my guts all morning
Dm Am
Oh too bad the hex of unfairer sex
G
It's difficult and it's boring
C
I guess I just quit drinking
G
I guess I just quit smoking
Dm
I guess I'll need some names
Am
Alvin, William and James
G
Doctor tell me you're joking
[Chorus]
F
Take the bus to the free clinic on Clemens
F
With my headphones on, no music
Please don't sit next to me
C, G, Dm, Am, G,
[Verse]
C
Glad Lee, the cross-eyed bear
G
Walks into a bar
Dm Am G
She says "you don't know how lucky you men are"
C
The tenants who live below me
G
They all pretend they don't know me
Dm
Cos they don't see a ring
Am
Now they know everything
G
They whisper and don't "hello" me
[Chorus]
F
But talk your shit, man, I don't care
F
It's blank for a boy but for a girl it's Claire
