D                     E            G                A        D  E G A

I don’t know what the day is I just don’t have a clue,
D           E     G               A     D        E
But I don’t mind laying here with Peggy Sue,
G     A   D   E
On my radio,
G     A   D   E   G
On my radio.

 
BRIDGE:

G     A
And I know just what you’re thinking,
A
I’m thinking the same,
A
But I don’t mind,
      A7                   G
Coz I know you’ll take the blame!

Coz I live my life the way that I want to,

Live my life the way that I choose,
          D        E       G          A       D     E
I’m gonna live my life the way that I want to now.  
G             A     D
And if that’s on my own,
        E
I don’t mind,

If that is on my own,

I don’t mind,

If that is on my own.

D                      E        G        A    D       E  G A
Throughout the day the T.V. is one of my only friends.
D                   E     G              A          D   E G A
And the lowest part of my day is when my programmes end.
D         E        G               A     D    E G A
Everybody seems to think that they no me well.
D               E      G               A      D     E
But would those people catch me if and when I fell?
G             A         D       E 
I don’t think that they would,
G              A        D      E  G
I don’t think that they would.
