     Am     G      D5     Am     G      D5


Am            C
White glow of the TV set
Am             C
Lights dancing on the screen
Am          C
Voice-overs rise like minarets
Am        C
Then fall diatonically.
Am                         C
Should I answer a friend's distress call
Am             C
Or should I go to sleep?
Am                C
Would I, like the voices rise and fall,
Am
What's it to me?

C
All those hours of wasted time
C
Have never passed my mind.

Riff 1&2
Here I am comfortable
Riff 1&2
In arm's reach of the black remote.
Riff 1&2
Here I am comfortable
Riff 1&2
Surrounded by stings and bows.
Riff 1&2
Let everyone else go.

Am                    C
Nights on Kirkwood so serene
Am                          C
Far from the sirens and the screams
Am
I could write or I could read
C
Go next door and smoke some weed
Am                      C
As long as I don't have to think
Am                           C
About who the hell's running this mess
Am                                  C
Or what shit they're writing up the Stone or NME
Am
Go out and make last call
C
Or sit here and do nothing at all
Am
What's it to me?

C
All those hours of wasted time
C
Have never passed my mind.

Riff 1&2
Here I am comfortable
Riff 1&2
In arm's reach of the black remote.
Riff 1&2
Here I am comfortable
Riff 1&2
All those clowns, what can they know?
Riff 1&2
Let everyone else go.
