State Of Confusion

Bm                         F#m
Woke up in a panic, Like somebody fired a gun
Em                                G          A
I wish I could be dreaming, But the nightmare's just begun.
Bm                         F#m
There's flooding in the basement, There's water all around.
Em                                G          A
There's woodworm in the attic And the ceiling just fell down.

All the dirty dishes Are still in the kitchen sink.
Em                                G          A
The tumble dryer's broken, Now the telly's on the blink.
Bm                         F#m
My girlfriend's packed her bags And moved out to another town.
Em                                G          A
She couldn't stand the boredom When the video broke down.
