Verse 3
Am Am/G F
Once a fool had a good part in the play
C/E D/F#
If it's so would I still be here today
F G Am
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
F G Am C
They think it's very funny everything I say
Pre-Chorus
G/B E4 E
Get a load of him he's so insane
C Am Dm7 F G A
You better get your coat dear it looks like rain
Chorus
C/E D/F# F G Am
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
C/E D/F# F G Am
The in-laws hope they'll see you very soon
F7M E4 E
But is it in your conscious that you're after
Am C Dm7 F G Am
Another glimpse of the madman across the water
