Is hanging over my head
And I've got the feeling someone's
Gonna be cutting the thread

  Oh, woe is me

  My life is a misery

  That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer

I woke up this morning
With a start when I fell out of bed (That ain't no crime)
And left from my dreaming
Was a feeling of unnameable dread (That ain't no crime)

  My high is low
  I'm dressed up with no place to go
  And all I know
  Is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer  - Oh, Rocky!  E E E E E D D♯ G♯

     A              D
    (Shalalala that ain't no crime) Oh no no no
    (Shalalala that ain't no crime) Oh no no no
    (Shalalala that ain't no crime)

    (That ain't no  crime)

The Sword of Damocles
Is hanging over my head (That ain't no crime)
And I've got the feeling someone's
Gonna be cutting the thread (That ain't no crime)

  Oh, woe is me
  My life is a mystery
  And can't you see
  That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer
