C#
I'm getting of sick of just sitting around
G# D#
If you think that might keep me safe and sound
You wrap me up and you keep me warm

And the singing is really sketchy;

A
I tell them I'm a man but they don't believe me
I tell them I'm a man but they don't believe me
I tell them I'm a man but they don't believe me
G C
But if I'm still here in the morning

Then theres the E chords and the main riff, then a final short verse;
C#
The band have formed
I don't know what I want
G#
The band come and get me
D#
So they know that I'm awake then
As far as I'm concerned, that's a load of bull
A# F
I know I'm available all I need is to call
G C
But if I'm still here in the morning
Enjoy the craziness :)
