[C#m]
[C#]
I woke up this morning, [C#m] started to sneeze, [B] had a cigarette and a [C#] cup of tea.
I looked in the mirror, [C#m] what did I see?
A [B] nine stone with a bit [C#] of nobility.
I clipped my knees, bent my wrists, touched my toes, [B] had another sneeze and I [C#] blew my nose.
I looked in the mirror at my pigeon [C#m] chest, I had [B] to pull on my clothes because it made me depressed.
[A] Surely there'd [E] be a way [B] for me to change the shape [D#] of me.
[C#] [A] If this had to [E] fuck with what I am, [B] I wanna be [G#] a
[E] [C#]
[B] jack-o-lantern [C#] like Superman.
Superman, [E] I wanna [B] be [C#] like Superman.
[C#m] [E] I wanna be [C#] like Superman.
[C#m] I wish [B] I could fly like Superman.
[F#] [C#] I woke up this [C#m] morning, what did I see?
[B] A big black cloud [C#] hanging over [E] me.
I [C#] switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead.
[B] The news was so bad [C#] that I fell out of bed.
It was a gas strike, oil [C#m] strike, laundry strike, a bread [B] strike.
I wanna be Superman [C#m] to survive.
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone [B] bills.
I'm such a wreck [C#] but I'm staying alive.
[C#m] Hey girl, we gotta get out of this place.
[B] There's gotta be [C#] something better than [C#m] this.
I need you but I see it this way.
[B] If I was Superman, [C#] I'd fly you away.
[A] I'd really like [E] to change the world.
[B] Save it from [C#] the mess [C#m] it's in.
[A] I'm too weak, [E] I'm so filled.
[B] I'd like to fly [G#] and [C#m] swim.
