E G D Don't wanna be in your club if you'd take me as a member E G D I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remembered A E I say ashes to ashes, dust to dust E G D Give me a tombstone if you feel you must Sayin'
Chorus
Bm C B Bm Here lies a clown who wrote some songs N.C. He talked too much and stayed too long
Verse
Em G E Back home in Perth I played piano down at Cafe Piazza Em G E Swallowin' second hand smoke and singin standards by the masters A Learnt that every lyric's sacred, that love's everything Em G E And that three drinks makes you straighten up but four gets you swingin' B C G Till my crowd scared the suits away and I played my own songs Em Then we talked too much and stayed too long D B (Talked too much and stayed too long)
Verse
E G Moved to Melbourne with my missus after locking her down E G Felt like a very little fishy in a very big town D A Barely scrapin' by on corporate gigs and quaint cabaret E G E Playin' keyboards in a cover band until three in the am B C B I was never really suited to them top forty songs N.C. Coz I talked too much and played too long
Pre-Chorus
E G D Don't wanna be in your club if you'd take me as a member E G D I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remembered A Am I say ashes to ashes, dust to dust Em E G E Give me a tombstone if you feel you must Sayin'
Chorus
Bm C B7 Here lies a clown who wrote some songs Em E5 He talked too much and stayed too long
Verse
Fm Took my eyeliner to Edinburgh in twenty-o-five Fm Played to forty five payin' punters on that opening night F Bbm But to my surprise there was a risin' demand Fm For a lovechild of Liberace and Edward Scissorhands C7 Cm7 Dude from the paper said that diggin' me was wrong N.C. He said I talked too much and stayed too long
Verse
Fm I played the Albert Hall and Wembley, I played basements and bars F I've been to Hollywood and Broadway, met those A-lister stars Bb I've shared cigarettes with Knights, shot Tequila with dames Fm Found I'm more interested in laughter than in hotness and fame C7 C#7 C7 So long as you got irony, honey we'll get along B Bb F We can talk too much and stay way, way too long
Pre-Chorus
Fm Don't wanna be in your club if you take me as a member F I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remembered Bb Bbm I say ashes to ashes, dust to dust Fm Give me a tombstone if you feel you must F Sayin'
Chorus
Cm C# C Here lies a clown who wrote some songs F You know he talked too much and stayed too long G You know he talked too much and stayed too long

G5
I've been threatened with death and arrest and with hell
N.C.
I went hard at a cardinal who was feelin' unwell
N.C.
I had them dog whistling whiners send their dogs after me
N.C. G5
I've been a bigot and a faggot, I've been smug and ugly
N.C.
I'm a long-haired lefty joker and a smoker of bongs
N.C.
And I talk too much and stay too longVerse
G5 But fuck that "live fast, die young" shit, I plan on getting rickety Baby I intend to stick around till all you pricks are sick of me C5 Cm And when they come to wash my old man balls and feed me mashed banana G Cm They'll find me in the common room playin' blues on the piano Dm D7 Eb D7 Same old three chords and cliched fuckin' runs Gm7 And I'll talk too much and stay too long C Y'know I'll talk too much (and stayed too long)
Pre-Chorus
Gm Don't wanna be in your club if you take me as a member I'm not even slightly interested in whether I'm remembered F C I say ashes to ashes, dust to dust Gm G Give me a tombstone, baby, if you feel you must Sayin'
Chorus
Dm Eb D7 Here lies a clown who wrote some songs Gm7 C7 F You know he talked too much and stayed too long Bb You know he talked too much and stayed too long Dm7 Eb7 D7 G Another white mother fucker ramblin' on N.C. He talked too much and stayed too long
