. Parts of some songs are actually played using power chords (E5 = 022xxx)
  I tabbed these with full chords so whether they are Major or Minor doesn't make a
  huge difference. Whether you play power chords or the chords shown is your choice.

. When you see a line in the lyrics below another line with no chords or space
  in between, copy the chords for the line above. It's usually obvious what to play.

. For a few of the songs I dropped in the riff that makes it so catchy :-)

. Sometimes chords sound best as C-based chords e.g. E = x7645x
  (chord name = lowest note). For instance an Eb x68886 might sound too high or
  an F 133211 might sound too low, and could be replaced with Eb x6534x and F x8756x

. At the bottom I included simpler versions for some songs using a Capo. These are
  meant to simplify the song and minimise the amount of barre chords used.

            C#                     Cm

I can not imagine growing old to have and to hold til death do part each other
Cos I doubt I could storm at 20 years, spending time at hers, talking to that mother

Fm                               Eb
I've got wider knowledge of the world
                            C#       Cm
I just can't face another argument about the rent
It all seems unimportant in the grander scheme of things
Cause I was purpose built to not feel guilt

E                     D
On the tunnel to the north again
A                 G
Everybody has to talk on the train

And if you've got nothing that's clever to say
A                          G
Nobody's listening to you anyway

      Bm           Dsus2        Bm           Dsus2     G

8. My Kind Of Guy

Am  G#  Am  G#  (x7)


Am                               Bb
Well it starts as a joke like a stick in the spokes
                             Am
Or removing the bolt on the brakes
Am                               Bb
Then the bicycle flips crushing ribs smashing hips
                                Am
And he broke every bone in his face

Am  G#  Am  G#  (x2)

Am                                  Bb
Then you're out of control and you can't fill the hole
                                    Am
That was left by the thrill of the chase
Am                                    Bb
You're a right piece of work all the flakes go berserk
                                  Am
Have you forgotten how good they taste

Am  E  Am  E  Am

       F                        C                        Em                  Am
You're my kind of guy, cause I like your style, and you sound as horrible as me
    F                 C                      Em
And I don't mind if you're unkind, you're reminding me of me

Am  G#  Am  G#  (x4)

Am                           Bb
As the bicycle race gathers speed, gathers pace
                                    Am
And you feel that you're going too fast
Am                                     Bb
Theres a word to the wise, you should take some advice
                                Am
As the nice guys always finish last

Am  E  Am  E  Am

       F                        C                        Em                 Am
You're my kind of guy cause I like your style, and you sound as horrible as me
And I don't mind if you're unkind, you're reminding me of me
You're my kind of guy cause I like your style, and you sound as horrible as me
And heads will roll, as it takes its toll, on you and me

9. Everything Is Average Nowadays

D                               Bm
Sooo, everything is average nowadays
                           D
Everything is average nowadays
                                  Bm
But everyone would do it if they can
                                  G
But everything is going down the pan
                               A
And everyone is following the craze

And everything is average

         D                           Bm
Now you say it's getting better, but I don't really see the signs
D                                 Bm
You say it is too different, you thought it would be suicide

G                                A
There's not much to believe in, left up on the shelf
G                                 A
So get your coats we're leaving, we'll just do something else

Everything is average nowadays
                              Bm
But everything is of no consequence
                                  G
Cause everyone is sitting on the fence
                                     A
And everything will always stay the same

Cause everything is average

         D                            Bm
Now you said you didn't need it, you threw away the book of rules
You thought that we should read it, I wouldn't even know how to
         G                       A
There's not much to believe in, left up on the shelf
So get your coats we're leaving, we'll just do something else

B                E
All I need is a ball and a wall
      A                    G     A
Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather
B                E
All I need is a ball and a wall
     A                  G     A
A sledge and a hill in heavy weather
B
Oh oh oh oh

D  Bm  D  Bm

Everything is average nowadays
                                  C#m
But everyone would do it if they can
                                  A
But everything is going down the pan
                               B
And everyone is following the craze
                                 E

10. Boxing Champ

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


C  Dm  Em  Dm  (x2)

C               Dm              Em              Dm
We went to the youth club and we looked out of place
C              Dm               Em               Dm
I didn't know where to look so I, looked at your face
C              Dm               Em        Dm
But you were a boxing champ, and I was a weakling
C               Dm         Em               Dm
You didn't give me a chance, you gave me a beating
       F                           G
And I thank you very much that you did

C          Dm            Em               Dm
And as the time went by we stayed out of trouble
C              Dm   Em            Dm
Before I could realise my age had doubled
Am                      G
The man I became is a tragic bore
    F                  Em
And he's not a boxing champ anymore
            Am                         G
If there's one thing I've learnt it's to run away
     F                  Em
At least I enjoy what I do today
       F                         G
And I thank you very much that I do

I'm just waiting for the man to come with all my things
Am                   G     F#m           F
And i'm just waiting for another man to take it all
Am                   G         F#m                 F
And its not hard to tell, that I learnt my lesson well
Am                   G        F#m              F
But I'm just waiting for, the man to come and go away

C                    D     C           D
What are you waiting for, get up off your seat
Bb                C      Bb           C
Its just seven days, it feels like a week
C                     D    C            D
What are you moaning for, you got all that you want
Bb                C   Bb             C
Life could be worse, you could be a nurse

Am                G          F#m             F
It seems most sensible, for us to keep the purse strings tight
And move the decimals, a couple of places to the right
And its not hard to tell, that I learnt my lesson well
Oh, it seems most sensible, but not exactly what we'd like

C                     D    C               D
What are you waiting for, get up off your seat
Bb              C        Bb           C
Its just seven days, it feels like a week
What are you moaning for, you got all that you want
Life could be worse, you know we all could be cursed

F            Em           Dm           Am
I can't help be like this, so don't rearrange it
F               Em        Dm                      Am
I don't mean to be a dick, I just don't like the changes
F                Em         Dm                         Am
And I can't help things I say, you know I wouldn't to strangers
F                 Em        Dm                    Am
But I don't like going away, cause it puts me in danger

C  G  Am

Am  G  F#m  F  (x2)

Am             G          F#m              F
I can tell you now, there ain't a problem can't be solved
With a good old fashioned row, so grit your teeth and stand your ground
And it's not hard to tell, that I learnt my lesson well
But I'm still waiting for, the man to come with all my things

C                     D   C                D
What are you waiting for, get up off your seat
Bb                C   Bb            C
It's just seven days, feels like a week
What are you moaning for, you got all that you want
Your life could be worse, and you could leave in a hearse

There are many things that I would be proud of
              Bm            D
If I'd only invented them such as the wheel
F#m           C#             F      D
The washing machine and the tumble dryer
           Bm              D
On these inventions surely I could retire

F#m         C#    F           D

There are many things that I know I could do
                  Bm           D
If I'd only have wanted to, such as create
The perfect soulmate everyone would admire
 On this creation surely I could retire
I want to retire, no longer required
 I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
 I must go out on a high, and not to answer to why
I want to retire, inform the suppliers
 I'll leave the party in style, and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky, I got my fingers in pies
 A golden watch on my side, will measure my free time

F#m  C#  E  B  (x8)

F#m              C#         F       D
Now my place in history is surely assured

I will be remembered here forever more
Brand new product in place and a potential buyer
 Up on this next transaction surely I could retire
I want to retire, no longer required
 I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
 I must go out on a high, and not to answer to why
I want to retire, inform the suppliers
 I'll leave the party in style, and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky, I got my fingers in pies
 A golden watch on my side, will measure my free time
