OK, so first things first.
I found a different version of this tab but I found it hard to read and some
chords were a bit dodgy.
So I'm using the correct parts from that tab and retabbing everything else.
The credit for that tab goes to 'blurryday' from 911tabs.
 
Main chords:
 
  G#m7  A   B   B7
e|--4---5---7---2-------------------------|
B|--4---5---7---4-------------------------|
G|--4---6---8---2-------------------------|
D|--4---7---9---4-------------------------|
A|--6---7---9---2-------------------------|
E|-(4)--5---7-----------------------------|
 
 
Intro
 
G#m7    A    B    A
 
 
 G#m7   A           G#m7       A
(Tracy Jacks) works in civil service
 G#m7   A           G#m7       A
(Tracy Jacks) it's steady employment
 B      A           B          A
(Tracy Jacks) is a golfing fanatic
 B      A           B          A
(Tracy Jacks) but his put is erratic
 G#m7   A           G#m7       A
(Tracy Jacks) saw a Harley Street doctor
 G#m7   A           G#m7       A
(Tracy Jacks) who prescribed healthy living
 B      A           B          A
(Tracy Jacks) but he's getting past forty
 B      A           B
(Tracy Jacks) and all his seams are splitting
 
 
CHORUS:
 
Every day he got closer
He knew in his heart he was over
I'd love to stay here and be normal
But it's just so overrated
 
 
   G                                                  B

 G#m7   A            G#m7          A
(Tracy Jacks) left home without warning
 G#m7   A            G#m7          A
(Tracy Jacks) at five in the morning
 B      A            B             A
(Tracy Jacks) got on the first train to Walton
 B      A            B             A
(Tracy Jacks) and stood on the sea front laughing
 G#m7   A            G#m7          A
(Tracy Jacks) threw his clothes in the water
 G#m7   A            G#m7          A
(Tracy Jacks) and ran around naked
 B      A            B             A
(Tracy Jacks) got stopped by the police
 B      A            B
(Tracy Jacks) and escorted back home where
 
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
 
 G#m7   A     G#m7   A
(Tracy Jacks) uu     iuhh
 G#m7   A     G#m7   A
(Tracy Jacks) uu     iuhh
 B      A     B      A
(Tracy Jacks) uu     iuhh
 B      A     B      A
(Tracy Jacks) uu     iuhh
 
G#m7                     A       B
And then it happened on a Tuesday morning
G#m7            A                    B
Tracy Jacks bulldozed down the house he lived in
 
Saying, 'It's just so overrated!'

Tab sounds great. One thing though, if you use the bar chords for A and B throughout the song, you can destroy your wrist/hand. I watched some live footage of this song, and Graham Coxon plays open chords: (x02220) for A and (x24442) for B.
