    Someone had to       tell you, 

[riff 1]
Might as well it be me.

You've been fooling no-one,

If you only could see. 
   A / B           D  E   < --  barre chords
Do you understand? 

You've got quite a problem, 
Lost your job you know why 
But you can't admit, 
So full of it you might die. 
Do you understand? 
You can't understand

Just keep your head in the sand. 
Yeah

Teenage alcoholic 
Grew too old to be fun. 
Just another loser 
Ain't no use to no-one. 
You can't understand. 
You can't understand. 

Give yourself excuses, 
Just as boozers all do. 
Why invent a reason?
No-one sees it like you 
Do you understand? 
Do you understand? 

You've got your head in the sand
Your head in the sand
Head in the sand

(Have another. And another, and another ...)

A / B         D   E
Everything is hopeless,
Drink to cope - it don't help. 
What's it take to make you 
Wide awake to yourself? 
To yourself?  
To yourself?

Your head's in the - (buried deep below)
Your head's in the - (you don't wanna know)
Your head's in the - (you've got feet of clay)
Your head's in the - (drink your tears away)
