D A G Em This is hell, this is hell, I am sorry to tell you D A Em7 A It never gets better or worse D A G Em But you get used to it, after a spell D A Cadd9 For heaven is hell in reverse Dm G The shirt you wore with courage C F And the violent nylon suit Dm G Reappear upon your back C F And undermine the polished line Dm G You try to shoot, it?s not the torment C F D Of the flames that finally see your flesh corrupted G It?s the small humiliation that your memory piles up Em7 D This is hell, this is hell G D "My favourite thing" is playing again an again G D But it?s by Julie Andrews and not by John Coltrane G D Endless balmy breezes and perfect sunsets framed G D C Vintage wine for breakfast and naked starlets floating in Champagne Am All the passions of your youth C Are tranquilised and tamed Am You may think it looks familiar A Though you may know it by another name D A G Em This is hell, this is hell, I am sorry to tell you D A Em7 A It never gets better or worse D A G Em But you get used to it, after a spell D A Cadd9 For heaven is hell in reverse D This is hell, this is hell.
