[Verse 1]

The skeleton in the cupboard is standing there to see you
G#m D#m F A#7
He hasn't any brains left but there's something in their place

[Chorus 1]
F# C# G#m D#m
He tries to drag me down all the time
E D#m
And make no bones about it

I don't doubt it that a dog could have a better life
F# C# G#m D#m
He just drags me down all the time
E D#m
And make no bones about it

I don't doubt it that a dog could have a better life
