   Em          G              F        Bb
By any chance? Do you think I once saw heaven
                        A                              D
During critical surgery when I walked towards a bright light?
                 Em         F               D
Can’t get a hit? Seems like what you got to do

Is dial a Weller-gram and he’ll turn up at your show

Quite possibly, acoustically get up on the stage

And declare your band to be a really good band;

Fine shoes; incredible tunes.

Have a glass of Sass with Paolo Hewitt,
D          A         Em    A
Flirt with brass and later rue it.


G              Em

Wouldn’t it be nice to play the Albert Hall for ever,

Shit Sellotape, just don’t know where it begins
         Em             G        F               Bb
And even when you do it keeps on straying to the side
                        A
Good quality stationery never comes to my house.
D              Em       F                D
In bed again – can’t be bothered getting up
          Em         G        F               Bb
Swing the lead again I’m just waiting for the man
                        A
From Camelot telling me that I’ve won the Lottery.


D     A         Em             G   A
Let’s trash the murder mystery weekend
D     A       Em              A
Let’s stage a couldn’t-give-a-thon
D            A             Em     A
Summertime’s here and I’ve got no hassle
D            A         Em     A
I could be a Goth on a bouncy castle.
G              Em
Wouldn’t it be nice to call off the barn dance?
G              Em      A            A7      D       A  G  A  D  A  G  A  D
Wouldn’t it be nice to sabotage the hot pot supper?
