Oh, woe is me

Oh, can't you see  
E                                                
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer  
A  
I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed (That ain't no crime)  
And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread (That ain't no crime)  
My high is low  
I'm dressed up with no place to go  
And all I know  
Is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer (Oh, Rocky!)  

A        D  
Sha la la la  
That ain't no crime (Oh no no no)  
A        D  
Sha la la la  
That ain't no crime  (Oh no no no)

Sha la la la  
                                     E      
That ain't no crime, that ain't no crime  

The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head (That ain't no crime)  
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread (That ain't no crime)  
Oh, woe is me  
My life is a mystery  
And can't you see  
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer  

Sha la la la  
That ain't no crime   
Oh no no no   
Sha la la la  
That ain't no crime   
Oh no no no   
Sha la la la  
That ain't no crime, that ain't no crime (x2)
