Intro: F
F
God, I dreamed there was an angel
F
Who could hear me through the wall
F7
As I cried out, like in Latin,
F7
"This is so not life at all.
Bb
Help me out-out-of this nightmare"
Bb
Then I heard her silver call.
Bbm
She said: "Just give it time, kid.
Bbm
I come to one and all"
F
She said: "Give me that hand, please,
F
And the itch you can't control.
F7
Let me teach you how to handle
F7
All the sadness in your soul.
Bb
Oh, we'll work that silver magic
Bb
Then we'll aim it at the wall"
Bbm
She said: "Love may make you blind kid,
Bbm
But I wouldn't mind at all."
Am
It's the bitch of living (bitch, just the bitch)
Gm
With nothing but your hand. (just the bitch, yeah)
Bb
Just the bitch of living
Bb
As someone you can't stand
F
See, each night, it's like fantastic
F
Tossing, turning, without rest,
F7
'Cause my days at the piano
F7
With my teacher and her breasts;
Bb
And the music's like the one thing
Bb
I can even get at all
Bbm
And those breasts!
Bbm
I mean, God, please just let those apples fall
Am
It's the bitch of living (bitch, ah, ah, ah)
Gm
With nothing going on (nothing going on)
Bb
Just the bitch of living,
Bb
Asking: what went wrong?
Am
Do they think we want this?
Gm
Oh- who knows?
F
See, there's showering in gym class...
F7
Bobby Maler, he's the best...
Bb
Looks so nasty in those khakis...
Bbm
God, my whole life's like some test.
F
Then there's Marianna Wheelan,
F7
As if she'd return my call.
Bb
It's like just kiss some ass, man,
Bbm
Then you can screw 'em all.
Bbm
Ah.........
Am
It's the bitch of living (it's the bitch of living)
Gm
And living in your head. (it's the bitch)
Bb
It's the bitch of living
Bb
And sensing God is dead.
Am
It's the bitch of living (you watch me, just watch me)
Gm
And trying to get ahead. (I'm calling you one day)
Bb
It's the bitch of living
Bb
Just getting out of bed. (all will know)
Am
It's the bitch of living (living, living)(all will know)
Gm
And getting what you get.
Bb
Just the bitch of living
Bb
And knowing this is it.
Am
God, is this it?
Gm
This can't be it
Bb F
Oh God, what a bitch!
