[Verse 1]
Bm
Small talk with a registered nurse
D
Not to cry in front
of people at work
            A           F#m
Well that's hard, hard, hard,
   E
at times you know

[Verse 2]
Bm
Get reminded of the earlier days
D
The end of April '78
           A           F#m
That was a long, long, long,
     E
long time ago

[Verse 3]
Bm                              D
And you showed a lot of warning signs
                            A    F#m
You made your own situation mine
         E
Now your problem's mine

Slim pickings when
the weather is snow

Pretty winded on a bicycle

It's been quite, quite, quite,

quite a row to hoe

A hot dinner on a souvenir plate

The part of town where
the money ain't

But things are fine, fine, fine,
      E
we're on our own
