  C#        B             F#          B        C#  B

   I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975

  A#m           G#m            F#                 B        C#  B

  I was puzzled by a dream, it stayed with me all day in 1995

  A#m        G#m           F# 

  My brother had confessed he was gay

     B                 C#             B

  it took the heat off me for a while

     A#m(C#)         G#m(B)           (in some later verses)

  He stood up with a sailor friend

      F#             B               C#           B   A#m G#m (C#)

  And made it known upon my sister's wedding day

  (not before chorus)

  

  I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported,

  now she's in love 

  I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches 

  from my crippled friend 

  She was not impressed 'cause I cured her on the sabbath, 

  so I went to confess 

  When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride

  to whisky and gin, to whisky and gin

  

  The priest in the booth had a photographic memory for all he had heard

  He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket nocvel called

  The State I Am In 

  So I gave myself to god, there was a pregnant pause before he said OK

  Now I spend my days turning tables round in Marks and Spencers,

  they don't seem to mind

  

  F#

    I gave myself to sin

    A#m

  I gave myself to providence

      E

  And I've been there and back again

      G#m

  The state that I am in              (x2)

  

  Oh love of mine, could you condescend to help me

  'cause I'm stupid and blind

  Desperation is the devil's work, it is the folly of a boy's empty mind

  Now I'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad

  Leave me to a living and 

  I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend, my crippled friend

  

  I gave myself to sin

  I gave myself to providence

  And I've been there and back again

  The state that I am in              (x4)

  

    B                      F#                                 C#

  I gave myself to sin and I've been there and back again, oh yeah
