Edit By: 216.73.216.165

Pre>intro f	bb  c	 c  \  f  bb  c	 c \	f  bb	 dm dm

F			c		 bb			 f
I once read the story of somebodys life I had a few moments to spare
F			  c				 bb		  f
He was a good man who lived with his wife	with the usual kids in his hair
Dm	  g			   dm 	g
There was happiness a lot of weirdness and a sprinkle of tragedy
Dm			   g
I pulled it by chance from a second hand bin
Bb		   c
But it couldve been written just for me

Chorus
F	   bb  f		 bb
Because the words came out not twist and shout
F	bb	 c
Cause thats not what a grown man writes about
F		   bb  f	  bb
That chapters over, let it blow over
F		bb	  c	    c	 f
I found that Ive become the owner of a brand new book
F 	   bb	 c		   f
A brand new book (then)
F		 bb	   c			 dm

Ive travelled far and Ive travelled wide and I guess Ill be travelling on
Fill another suitcase up with possessions and put on a badfinger song
Ive got much more than most people have and a little less than a few
But you cant measure these things by weight
They either drag you down or they lift you

Repeat chorus (then) bridge
Dm			    bb   f			  bb
I dont read between the lines	Im not ready for what Ill find
Dm				 bb
I dont believe that love is blind
G			   g				    c
It just cant see straight, it just cant see straight oh yeah
C			 c		   d
Read all about it, read all about it	 yeah
F	    bb	 c		    f
A brand new book (twice)

I read that book for an hour or two and then I looked up at the night sky
I saw the big dipper and then the big bopper and I realised how much time had gone by
Every page had something to say but one thing that struck me as true
The clock just keeps ticking as if youre not there
Man it either drags you down or it lifts you  chorus
