Michael wrote this one in Eb but I
transposed it down to A so it´s easier to sing.

[Am79/D] [[D]] 4 times
[[F#m7]] F# Earth [[B7]] quakes and my [[F#m7]] Bug [[B7]] breaks
[[Em7]] You need a light to [[A7]] see through the [[D]] smog [[D]]
[[F#m7]] It´s like D-[[B7]]-day out on the [[F#m7]] free [[B7]] way
[[Em7]] I´d like to crawl back [[A7]] under my [[D]] log [[D]]
All these [[B7]] Rolls Royce Hip Roll down the Sunset Strip
just like [[E7]] Pharaos down the Nile.
[[A7]] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [[D]] / [Am79/D] [[D]]
[[F#m7]] Dog [[B7]] bites [[F#m7]] lost [[B7]] kites
[[Em7]] he says Thanks but [[A7]] he never says [[D]] Please [[D]]
[[F#m7]] We both [[B7]] shave and we [[F#m7]] jump [[B7]] waves
[[Em7]] He never has much skin [[A7]] on his [[D]] knees [[D]]
You know [[B7]] he´s got the habit now for Peter Rabbit now,
[[E7]] and Disney crocodiles.
[[A7]] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [[D]] / [Am79/D] [[D]]
Solo one verse until...
All these [[B7]] movie stars and all these Jane and Tarzan just to,
[[E7]] run the three minute mile.
[[A7]] Sometimes I just forget to [Am79/D] smile [[D]] / [Am79/D] [[D]]
