A6           D      Ebdim     D

I have lived a hundred lives

A6           D      Ebdim     D
and I have died a dozen times

            D        A6       Db6          D
but the reaper hasn’t caught me yet

           D        A6       Db6          D
though his scythe is often at my neck

A6           D      Ebdim     D

and I have learned a trick or two

A6           D      Ebdim     D
though I’ve forgotten quite a few

           D        A6       Db6          D
and might have told a hundred lies

A6        D     Ebdim  D   Db6
twice as many half    as   true



D              E6         A6

Oh I have been an idiot

D                   E6     Abm 
missing some key ingredient

          D     A6    Db6   D 
and waiting as I fail to rise

D        A6           Db6     D 
never guessing what it meant



A6           D      Ebdim     D

I lived adrift on luck and looks

A6            D               Ebdim         D
‘till hungry hearts struck hard and took

         D        A6       Db6        D
and made afraid of what I’d done

         D            A6       Db6             D
my skills were nil, my friends were none

A6           D            Ebdim   D

I could not trust my empty mind

        A6          D         Ebdim     D
these stolen holes of space and time

      D        A6        Db6          D
the faces, newly strange, I’d find

D          A6        Db6          D 
none of them resembling mine



D              E6         A6

Oh I have been an idiot

D                   E6     Abm
missing some key ingredient

        D       A6    Db6   D 
and waiting as I fail to rise

D        A6       Db6    D 
never asking what it meant



A6           D      Ebdim     D

I barely cared, and rarely tried

     A6           D         Ebdim   D
to find some reason I should fight

       D        A6         Db6    D
but in my hand and at my side

      D        A6         Db6      D 
you, my heart, my arm did guide

     A6      D            Ebdim     D

for I had been your long lost twin

A6       D      Ebdim     D
closer than a second skin

        D     A6    Db6      D 
and now I am alone again

       D     A6    Db6      D
wiser than I’ve never been



       D       E6         A6

Oh I have been an idiot

     D              E6     Abm
missing some key ingredient

        D      A6           Db6   D
but now I know how I will rise

       D         A6           Db6   D 
oh how on earth could I forget?

       D      A6        Db6       D 
knowing you has made me wise

       D      A6     Db6   D 
now I am not an idiot!
