You'll have to [G] excuse [C] me, I am not at [F] my best
I've been [C] gone for [G] a month, I've [F] been drunk [G] since [C] I left
[Am] These so-called [Gm] vacations will [C] soon be [F] my death
I'm [C] so sick from the [G] drink, I need [Am] home [G] for [C] a rest
We [Am] [G] arrived in [C] December and [F] London was [C] cold
We [G] stayed in the bars [F] of a chair in Croft Road
We [Am] [G] never slept [C] nothing but wrapped [F] up sandals
[C] Kept the shine [G] on the bar [F] with the speed [G] of our drone
You'll have to excuse [C] me, I am not [G] at my best
I've been [C] gone [F] for a week, [G] I've been drunk since I left
These so-called [C] vacations will [G] soon be my death

[C] We were flying [G] to that, [F] at the train [G] ticket reel
You'll have to excuse me, [C] I am not [G] at my best

[F] Was seductive and [Am] sweet, she'd feed us [G] and flirt
[C] As the pubs all [F] closed down
[C] Then walk us [G] on home and [F] deny us [G] the round
You'll have to excuse me, [C] I am not at [G] my best
[C] I've been gone for [F] a month, I've [G] been drunk since I left
These so-called vacations [C] will soon be [G] my death

I [C] know it's off [Gm] my head, to [F] a twelve bells [G] at noon
You'll have to excuse me, [C] I am not at [G] my best
I've [C] been gone for [F] a month, I've [G] been drunk since I left
