[Am] Woke up this morning, started to sneeze 
[G] Had a cigarette and a [Am] cup of tea 
[Am] I looked in the mirror what did I see 
A [G] nine stone weakling with [Am] knobbly knees 


I did my [Am] knees bend press ups touch my toes 
[G] Had another sneeze and I [Am] blew my nose 
I [Am] looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest 
I had to [G] put on my clothes because it [Am] made me depressed 


{c:Pre-Chorus}
[Dm] Surely there must [C] be a way 
[G] For me to change the [Am] shape I'm in 
[Dm] Dissatisfied is [C] what I am
[G] I want to be a [E7] better man    [E7]

[Am] Woke up this morning, what did I see 
A [G] big black cloud hanging [Am] over me 
I [Am] switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead 
The [G] news was so bad that I [Am] fell out of bed 


There was a [Am] gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike 
[G] Got to be a Superman [Am] to survive 
[Am] Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills 
[G] I'm such a wreck but I'm [Am] staying alive 


{c:Pre-Chorus}
[Dm] I'd really like to [C] change the world 
[G] And save it from the [Am] mess it's in 
[Dm] I'm too weak, [C] I'm so thin 
[G] I'd like to fly but I [E7] can't even swim   
[/] [E7]  [/] [E7]  [/] [E7] Aaahhhh....

[Am] Look in the paper, what do I see, 
[G] Robbery, violence, [Am] insanity.
[Am] Hey girl we've got to get out of this place 
[G] There's got to be something [Am] better than this 
[Am] I need you, but I hate to see you this way 
If [G] I were Superman then I'd [Am] fly you away      
[/] [Am]  [/] [Am]  [/] [Am] Aaahhhh....
