One of my favorite of Cullum's songs, also the title of his second album.
F#m D7 F#m D7
After yF#mears of expensive eduD7cation,
A cF#mar full of books and anticiG7pation
I'm an eF#mxpert on Shakespeare and that's a Emhell of a lot.
C#mb6 C7#11 F#m D7
But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought.
MaybF#me I'll go trav'ling D7for a year, fF#minding myself,
Or sG7tart a career.
I could wF#mork for the poor, though I'm Em7hungry for fame.
C#mb6 C7#11
We all seem so diff'rent but we're just the same.
MaybF#me go to the gym so I doD7n't get fat.
Aren't tF#mhings more easy with a tightG7 six pack'
F#mWho knows the answers, Em7who do you trust'
C#mb6 C7#11
I can't even separate love from lust.
MaybF#me move back home and pay oD7ff my loans,
Working nF#mine to five, G7answering phones.
F#mDon't make me live for my Em7friday nights,
C#mb6 C7#11
Drinking eight pints and getting in fights.
F#m D7 F#m D7 F#m D7 F#m D7 F#m D7
I don't wF#mant to get up, just Em7let me lie in;
C#mb6 C7#11 Bmaj7
Leave me alone, I'm a twenty-something.
Maybe I'll just F#maj7fall in love.
Bmaj7That could solve it all. F#maj7
PhiBmaj7losophers says that F#maj7that's enough.
There sDmaj7urely must be more.C#aug7. oooo...
F#m D9 F#m
Love ain't the answer, D7nor is work.
The tF#mruth eludes me so much it hG7urts.
But I'm sF#mtill having fun and I gEm7uess that's the key.
C#mb6 C7#11
I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me.
F#mDo do and do do and do and do do do do D9
Do and do do and do and do do do do F#m
Do and do do and do and do do do do D9
Do and do do and do and do do do doF#m
Do and do do and do and do do do doD9
Do and do do and do and do do G7do.
