(verse) 
F                  Bb        F 
 Who am I?  Do you recognize me? 
Bb             F           Eb   F 
 Of course you don't.  I'm nobody. 
F                 Bb         F 
 I have no money.  I have no name. 
Bb          F              Eb      F 
 I tear the tickets at the hall of fame. 

Bb        F             C      F 
 I buy my dinner at the seven-eleven 
Eat it in the kitchen while I watch TV 
I like my free time and I love my wife 
Bb           F                C         Bb 
 You'll find my number on the B-side of life


(verse) 
F                 Bb       F 
Once I got lucky.  I had a band 
Bb        F              Eb     F 
 We had a song it got to number 3 
F                    Bb            F 
 Made lots of money.  Made lots of friends 
Bb           F             Eb             F 
 Had lots of pretty people hangin' 'round me 

F                  Bb        F 
Now all I want is a place to hide 
Bb       F             Eb       F 
 To feel safe from the chaos outside 
  F                 Bb      F 
A cold refrigerator, a warm bed 
  Bb             F                Eb        F 
A place where no one will stick a gun to my head 

Bb        F             C      F 
 I buy my dinner at the seven-eleven 
Eat it in the kitchen while I watch TV 
I like my free time and I love my wife 
Bb           F             C         Bb 
 We're happy living on the B-side of life


(bridge) 
Eb                   Fsus4  F 
 We had a key to the city 
        Eb             Dm 
But the rooms it did unlock 
Gm                        Dm 
 Were full of over-priced portraits 
  Bb                   Am7  C 
Engaged in cheap small talk 

(verse) 
  F                    Bb           F 
So turn out the lights, turn up the radio 
Bb              F            Eb        F 
 Don't know the singer but I love that song 
F                     Bb        F 
 I know that I'm no Baryshnikov baby 
Bb           F              Eb        F 
 But I wanna dance with you all night long 

(verse no lyrics - Oooh oooh etc...) 
F     Bb  F   Bb  F  Eb  F  (x2) 

Bb            F             C      F 
 I'll buy you dinner at the seven-eleven 
Eat it in the kitchen while we watch TV 
Tonight's my birthday.  Let's have a party 
    Bb            F               C         Bb      F 
I'm thirty with a bullet from the B-side of life
