Intro: A D A C# D F#m E Verse: A D A Remembered your name C# D F#m E Evidently, you've forgotten mine. A D A You know a lot of people C# D F#m E I know, a mind dulled by work and wine. Chorus: E Bm I got hired but I got tired of draining the pool for you. D F#m E I got tired but not so blue, Bm To see the cracks in you. D F#m E I got hired against my wish, Bm With better prospects, after this. Ten leaves, Ten leaves, on a river bank. Just like the glass From the champagne bottles smashed where they sank. Chorus Your interest in freaks The side show, the low life holds nothing for me. Because I have seen it Almost been it, and it's not my cup of thrills. Chorus Fade: on swimming pools, hiring and tiring, and anything after this.
