[Verse 1]
            G               Am7          Bm              C
Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings,
    G               Em               A7
The six o'clock a - larm would never ring,
D      D/F# G            Am7
   But it   rings, and I rise,
         Bm              C
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes,
C  C/B C/A     G       Em7     Am7   D7     G       (Gsus4)(G)
            My shaving razor's cold, and it stings

[Verse 2]
G                   Am7     Bm                  C
You once thought of me as a white knight on his steed,
    G                Em7         A7
But now you know how happy I can be,
D           D/F# G                    Am7
   Woh, and our  good times start and end...
           Bm            C
...Without dollar one to spend,
C C/B C/A       G         Em7  Am7        D7     G      (Gsus4)(G)
            But how much, baby,  ...do we really need?
