AI was surGprised, I wasD happy for a Gday in 1A975 G
F#mI was puzzled bEmy a dream, sDtayed with me all Gday in 199A5 G
F#mMy brother Emhad confessed hDe was gay
It tGook the heat off Ame for a whileG
F#mHe stood up with a sEmailor friend
D G A G (F#m - Em - A)
Made it known upon my sisters wedding day
AI got married iGn a rush to sDave a kid from bGeing deported
Now shAe's in love G
F#mI was so touchEmed, I was mDoved to kick the crGutches
From my cArippled friend G
F#mShe was not impEmressed that I cuDred her on the SGabbath
So I wAent to confessG
DWhen she saw the D/Bfunny side, wD/F#e introduced my chD/Gild bride
To wAhisky and ginG
The priest in the booth had a photographic memory
For all he had heard
He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called
"The State I Am In"
So I gave myself to God
There was a pregnant pause before he said ok
Now I spend my day turning tables round In Marks & Spencer's
They don't seem to mind
DI gave myself to sin
I gaF#mve myself to Providence
And IC've been there and back again
The Emstate that I am in
Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me
I am stupid and blind
Desperation is the Devil's work, it is the folly of a boys empty mind
Now I'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad
Lead me to a living end
I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend
My crippled friend
