Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour

 But heaven knows I'm miserable now

 To people who don't care if I live or die ?

 I was looking for a job, and then I found a job

 And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life

Why do I give valuable time

 To people who don't care if I live or die ?

 And I na - turally fled

In my life

Why do I smile

 At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?
