The steady receding

VERSE
A
I am receding, it’s time that I came clean
D
I’ve been brushing it forward
E
So I know you haven’t seen

But I’m receding, I’ve tried to work out why
I’m barely in my thirties
I’m much too young to die

I am receding, I’ve every right to whine
People pretend to be courteous
Even Jasmine says it’s fine, I know she’s lying

MIDDLE
E A
I try to put on a brave face to show I don’t care
E A
My life, my fortune, for a full head of hair
Bm
I hold my head up high
F#m
I stay out of the light
E
I only go out at night

VERSE
I am receding, you might say I am depressed
Takes me two hours to get outta bed in the morning
Let alone get dressed

I am receding, it’s really getting worse
I check it every time I piss
To see if it’s reversed

But I’m receding, I’m all out of ideas
I’ve tried looking up on the internet
But all that does is fuel my fears, I’m worried sick

MIDDLE
Where do I go from here?
My options are wearing thin
Do I cut it short?
Or keep combing it forward
Or grow it long while I can!

VERSE
But I’m receding, my life is at an end
First you looks your hair you know
Then you lose your friends

I am receding, now I notice it in others
It’s like an epidemic
At least I have my brothers

We’re receding, let’s go bald together
We’ll form a political party
And then ban hair forever, we can change the world!
