It Was Supposed To Be So Easy Chords by The Streets

_ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [F] It was [Bb] supposed to be so easy.
[Eb] Just take back the DVD, [F] withdraw that extra [Bb] money, tell mum I wouldn't be back for tea,
then grab my savings and [Eb] hurry.
So first to get [F] the bill back in time, to [Bb] avoid that big fine, I had to do a fast hill
[Eb] climb, a fasted climb.
But I flew [F] a bit quick, arms like a [Bb] lunatic.
I had to stop for a few tics, I started feeling [Eb] sick, got to the video [F] shop in a state, but
shocked [Bb] it wouldn't be late.
Only when he flicked open the [Eb] case, I'd left the disc at my place.
Today I have achieved [F] absolutely now, [Bb] in just being out of the house I've lost out.
[Eb] If I'd wanted to [F] end up with more now, [Bb] I should have just stayed in bed like I [Eb] know how.
So I've failed on the DVD, [F] but I still had to get the money, [Bb] tell mum I couldn't make
tea, get the savings and then hurry.
[Eb] Rushing to the cash [F] machine, still a bit mashed [Bb] and lean, then of course a mandatory car [Eb] drives
by and slashes me.
Get there the [F] queue's outrageous, ladies [Bb] taking ages, my rage is blowing gauges, how long
does it [Eb] take to validate your wages?
[F] At last my turn comes, press the [A] 50 squid button, [Eb] insufficient funds.
Today I have achieved [F] absolutely now, [Bb] in just being out of the house I've lost out.
[Eb] If I'd wanted to [F] end up with more now, [Bb] I should have just stayed in bed like I [Eb] know how.
So I've failed on the DVD, [F] couldn't withdraw any money, [Bb] but I still had to call mum, get
the savings and then hurry.
[Eb] So to call my mum [F] so that, I could tell her I can't [Bb] go and that, at least I remembered
my phone man, [Eb] I didn't know what number I phoned.
Where's my [F] phone, have I got it?
Oh this is a [Bb] crock of shit, I lost the fucking thing, [Eb] I wear it, it's in my pocket.
But the battery's [F] nearly flat, gotta call [Bb] quick snap.
Oh shit, the battery is flat.
Today I have achieved [Eb] absolutely now, in just being out of [Bb] the house I've lost out.
If I'd wanted to end up with more now, I should have just stayed in bed like I [Eb] know how.
So I've failed on the DVD, [F] couldn't withdraw any money, [Bb] or call mum about tea, I'd have
to get [Eb] the savings and hurry.
Where was the [F] money?
I knew I'd left it on the [Bb] side next to the telly, this is not [Eb] even funny.
[Em] I left it in the living room, [Bb] ready to pick up as soon as I'd passed through on the way
out to the rendezvous.
So [E] the shoebox full of money, [A] just disappearing from me, was [E] not what I call funny.
A grand don't [Eb] come for free.
Today I have achieved [F] absolutely now, [Bb] in just being out of the house I've [Eb] lost out.
If I'd wanted to [F] end up with more now, [Bb] I should have just stayed in bed like I [Eb] know how.
Hey, [Bb] stoke to the bone image, do you want me to stop?
I imagine my mum's weeping right now, [Bbm] the thousand pounds you swore that I left on the
table this [Ebm] morn, [F] has simply disappeared right before [Bbm] my eyes, his eyes and yours.
And I'm a thousand pound poorer, a hundred thousand pennies, no more.
A thousandth of a milli, a squid or two monkeys, or a whole fifty spores, gone, [Ebm] withdrawn,
gone [F] from my life.
The [Bbm] money's no more for sure. _ _ _ _ _
