| Bb | Bb | F | F | x 4  

Bb
I wrote a poem on a dog biscuit
F
And your dog refused to look at it
Bb
So I got drunk and looked at the Empire State Building
F
It was no bigger than a nickel

Bb
And if it don't improve
F
Well then I have to move
Bb                                 F
I never thought that I would end up here
D#            Bb              F     (break)
Maybe I should just change my style
D#            Bb              F   (break)
But I feel alright when you smile

Bb
I stayed at home on the Fourth of July
F
And I pulled the shades so I didn't have to see the sky
Bb
I decided to have a Bed In
F
But I forgot to invite anybody

Bb
And when I fell asleep
F
The neighbours had a peep
B                                  F  
I never thought that I would end up here
D#             B              F 
Maybe I should just change my style
D#             B              F      (break)
But I feel all right when you smile


For the rest of the song:

| F | F | Bb | Bb | 

(note that the two chords have switched place - F major first, then B flat major)

I have no idea how to tab the the riffs and the solo. Comment below if you have something to add!
