Sebastian you're in a mess 
                               F#m 
You had a dream, they called you king of all the hipsters, 
      C#m            B 
is it true or are you still the queen? 
E                                  B 
   Like getting blood out of a stone 
                            F#m 
The city left you lost and gone 
                                                     C#m

You came to dance, but there's no poignancy when they all leave you...

standing alone 
Amaj7            Emaj7

E                      B 
The wider issues of the day 
                             F#m 
just pass you by, you're gonna pay 
                             C#m           B 
for looking at the floor when people talk to you. 
E                          B 
You wrote a book about yourself 
                         F#m 
The people left it on the shelf 

You'll write another one 
 C#m                     B                        Amaj7            Emaj7

E                       B 
I've seen the company you keep 
                         F#m 
You're on the sofa hidden deep 
                           C#m             B 
While on the telly Sid James speaks you like God 
E                           B 
You're always looking for a sign 
                         F#m 
But boy you blow it every time 
                         C#m 
You hear a voice begin to speak 
      B              Amaj7          Emaj7 
You ignore it and go softly to sleep 
Amaj7          Emaj7 
softly to sleep 
Amaj7          Emaj7 
softly to sleep 

        Emaj7               Amaj7 
Are you happy with yourself?
