Middle:
E
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dsus2
Dragged a comb across my head
E B7sus4
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
E B7sus4 (B7)
And looking up I noticed I was late (ha ha ha.)
E
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Dsus2
Made the bus in seconds flat
E B7sus4
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
E B7sus4
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream.
