Stuck in her [G]daydream.
Been this way since [D]eighteen, but lately

slowly sinking, [C]wasting,
Crumbling [G]like pastries and they scream
The worst [D]things in life come free to us.
Cos we're [Em]just under the [C]upperhand,
[G]And go mad for a couple of grams,
[Em]And she don't want to go[C] outside [G]tonight.
And in a [Em]pipe she flies to the [C]Motherland,
[G]Or sells love to another man.
