Intro Chords: C#m, B, A, G#
C#m
I'm not surprised it's come to this, Sooner or later there must be another's
G# A G# A
kiss, Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss, Yeah, great I won't be
C#m F# A B
takin' the bait - I'd rather drown And I will not turn my whole life upside
E
down
C#m G# A
Imagine everything you've done, Under a microscope on view for everyone, and
G# A
if the King of Circumspection's here He's come in vain I won't be sharing
C#m F# A B C#m
the blame - I wear the crown and I will not turn my whole life upside down
G# C#m G# C#m G#
Nothing's good enough for me To shake me from complacency, I make my mind up
F# C#m
and I'll never be The kind of man who'd make a choice, For if I hold my
G# A G#
tongue I'll never lose my voice, If each attempted act of sabotage destroys
A C#m F# A
all hope I won't be needing a rope - I'm gagged and bound and I will not
B E
turn my whole life upside down
A E A E
And if the genie were set free, and by the laws of things like that he's
A G# C#m A
indebted to me. I'd bury my three wishes deep down in the ground, So I will
B E
not turn my whole life upside down.

C#m
Though I appreciate the aim, tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his
G# A G# A
fame, i'd only use it to make everything the same again so don't applaud
C#m F# A B C#m
till the end - I'm not around cause I will not turn my whole life upside down
G# C#m G# C#m
Nothing's good enough for me, to shake me from complacency, I've made my
G# F# A B E

A bit of a weird solo and really hard to put down on tab, but its there and is as near
enough perfect as I can get it. I'm 100% certain the chords are right and I just hope
that you can follow it ok. Any queeries, suggestions etc, e-mail me at any of the addresses below,
Thanks,
