The Ballad Of Paul K – McFly –

[D]
He”s drinking cold Corona
[Bm]
Feels like is getting older
[Em] [A]
Now and noticing how he”s finding
[D]
Grey hairs left in the shower
[Bm]
Tattoos fade by the hour
[Em] [A]
And he can”t understand these feelings

Pre-chorus

[G] [A]
Why life is getting him down
[D]
He used to smile now he frowns
[D/C#] [Bm]
And cries inside
[Em]
Its been this way for a while
[E] [A]
And he can”t seem to put things right

Chorus

[D] [D7] [G] [G#] [Em]
When life has been unkin d
[E] [A] [A/G]
And you” re losing your mind
[F#] [Bm] [Bm/A] [Em]
Look in the mirror afraid of what you”ll find
[Gm] [D] [A] [D] [A] [D]
It feels like time”s not on your sid e

Verse 2 (Same chords)

He doesn”t like to mention

Applying for his pension

So his children don”t know he”s heading

Into a mid-life crisis

He cant afford the prices for

The new kitchen floor he”s buying

Pre chorus 2

He”s been a drunk all his life

Two kids, a dog and a wife

He doesn”t know

And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows

Chorus

Bridge

[C#m] [A]
Dont know why but somehow
[C#m]
The ones you love you hate now,
[B] [E]
You feel down and blue
[C#m]
Look at what you”ve thrown away
[B]
They stood beside you all the way
