The News from Your Bed Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
You [G]were saving the date
But you [C]woke up too late
[Am]Pulled the covers [G]down over [D]your head[C]
[D]You haven't lef[G]t your front door
For a [C]week maybe more
[Am]Tell me, hey,[G]
what's the [D]news from your [C]bed
[D]You know your fac[C]e is all covered
with your [D]birthday cake
That you're [G]eating in the
[D]kitchen at [Em]home
Another [C]banner year, [D]a splendid day
Another [G]inch or [D]two that you've [Em]grown
But it's [C]hard to celebrate on your [Em]own
[D]There's a mouse

[Verse 2]
[G]in cupboard
that [C]nibbles your crumbs
[Am]And you talk[G] to him ever[D]y nigh[C]t
[D]You say[G], “Hey, Mr. Whiskers,
I'm [C]bored and I'm num[Am]b
You [G]can stay if you [D]just
treat [C]me [D]rig[C]ht.”
Just last year you [D]were fortunate baby
And [G]your friends circled
[D]around you in [Em]droves
Are they [C]thinking of you?
[D]Maybe just maybe
But not a [G]one has [D]bothered [Em]to phone
Tell me [C]where oh where did they go

[Interlude 1]

[G][D][C][Am][G][D][C][D]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Called a [D]car an [G]hour ago
You're [D]gonna [Am]take yourself out
Des[D]pite [G]the cold and [D]snow
Did they for[Am]get about you
Are [D]they [G]in on it too?
You're sitting [Am]looking in the mirror
[D]At your dan[G]cing sho[C]es

[Verse 4]
[Em]
[D]When your fam[G]ily calls you
make [C]nice to them all
[Am]And assure[G] them you're
[D]fine and you're [C]great
[D]Then you cry[G] in the bath,
cry so [C]hard that you laugh
[Am]Then you watch[G] television [D]til late[C][D]
[C]Who do you [D]need? Nobody.
You're [G]lucky [D]nobody's [Em]around
I can [C]pour my own drinks
[D]No thanks, Mister. Go [G]on,
and [D]get out of [Em]town
And you're gor[C]geous in
your evening gown.
[Em][D][G]
