real late starter nerina pallot

Bm
i woke up late today
E

Am
got no place to be seen

im not part of a scene
G
im a genius loser
Bm
keeping counsel with my own opinion
E
president of the state that im in
Am
should i just stay in bed?

should i live in my head?
G
oh god so many questions to ask

oh you could call me lazy
i think of it as taking my time
cos i dont want to do what i dont want to do
im the queen refusenik

[ chorus ]
Bm E
but – oh my god if i was somebody id be doing it all just fine
C G

D A

Bm E
oh my god if i was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now
C G D A
but im so polite i do it all of the time
C G

Bm
oh well .

day by day i wonder
if i will be torn asunder
by these things that i know that nobody else knows
or maybe its the drinking
i guess we should consult a bible
everybody needs a sign – or
bless the birds and the bees
the flowers and trees
and blessed be the slacker

[ chorus ]
but – oh my god if i was somebody id be doing it all just fine
but im a real late starter
so im making up for lost time
oh my god if i was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now
but im so polite i do this all of the time
i missed my calling in life
E G

E G

D Am G

D Am G

[ chorus ]
oh my god if i was somebody id be doing it all just fine
but im a real late starter
so im making up for lost time
oh my god if i was somebody youd be kissing my arse right now
but im so polite
i missed my calling in life

[ chorus ]
oh my god if i was somebody id be doing it all just fine
