Tim Minchin - Youtube Lament

have just literarly transcribed them they sound right when i play it with the music : p

intro : Em , B , C , B

Em
all my carefully measured metaphor
B
all my flat nine dominant seven chords
C
all of my shtick
C
my lyrical trickery
B
all of those bows

all that applause

all my intertextuality
all my self – aware hypocrisy
all of those rhymes
my irregular times
all my softly spoken sophistry

all my make – up , all my lights
all my photo shoots in tights
all my pretensions
all my intentions
all my glitzy opening nights

C
all my brow – dependent jokes
G
all my mirror balls and smoke
Em
all my tilts at wit and whimsy
B
all my poetry
C
my swear words and my smut
C
will never get as many hit’s as
B Em
kittens waking up
