Birth School Work Death

      E5
Been turned around till I'm upside down
      A5                            E5 A5
Been all at sea until I've drowned
     E5
And I've felt torture, I've felt pain
A5                                     E5 A5
Just like that film with Michael Caine
      E5
I've been abused and I've been confused
    A5                                    E5 A5
And I've kissed Margaret Thatcher's shoes
E5
I've been high and I've been low
    A5                       E5 A5
And I don't know where to go

[Chorus]
 E5      A5     E5    A5
Birth, school, work, death
 E5      A5     E5    A5
Birth, school, work, death

[Verse]
     E5
And heroin was the love you gave
 A5                           E5 A5
From the cradle to the grave
E5
Boys and girls don't understand
     A5                            E5 A5
The devil makes work for idle hands
  E5
I cut myself but I don't bleed
       A5                      E5 A5
'Cause I don't get what I need
 E5
Doesn't matter what I say
  A5                         E5 A5
Tomorrow's still another day

[Chorus]
 E5      A5     E5    A5
Birth, school, work, death
 E5      A5     E5    A5
Birth, school, work, death

[Verse]
      E5
Yeah, I've been high and I've been low
    A5                       E5 A5
And I don't know where to go
     E5
I'm living on the never, never, never
      A5                       E5 A5
This time it's gonna be forever
      E5
I'll live and die, don't ask me why
   A5                  E5 A5
I wanna go to paradise
     E5
And I don't need your sympathy
         A5
There's nothing in this world for me

[Chorus]
 E5      A5     E5    A5
Birth, school, work, death
 E5      A5     E5    A5
Birth, school, work, death
