[Verse 1]
G (320003@1)        G/f#       Em7  Cadd9 (x32030@1)Wiped out down the stairs

G (320003@1)           G/f#        Em7   Cadd9 (x32030@1)   G (320003@1) G/F# (320002@1) Em7   Cadd9 (x32030@1)I'm not sure I'm prepared   to write it down
G (320003@1)       G/f#      Em7  Cadd9 (x32030@1)That guy should be me
G (320003@1)       G/f#        Em7   Cadd9 (x32030@1)I'd look much better on t.v.
G (320003@1)       G/f#         Em7

       C2 (x32030@1)              
I will never do anything

Gm7/C (x7, palm mute after each one)

[Verse 2]
Let's play tic tac toe
I'll play X, you can be the O.
Thoughts of turning pro
Have crossed my mind
I could make a mint
Fill my pockets with more than lint
I'll give you a hint
It involves the "internet"

[Chorus] (x2)
I can be that
But soon you'll see that
I will never do anything

[Bridge 1]

      G/f#                  Em7
Got a big chip, you want a fat lip?
             C1
How 'bout a mouthful of Chiclets?
C (x32010@1)    G/B (143121@7)     Am (x02210@1)         B7/F#    Em (022000@1)Em/F# (222000@1)Em/G (322000@1)Em/F# (222000@1) Life passed me by, but it's not my fault
C (x32010@1)    G/B (143121@7)   Am (x02210@1)              B7 (x21202@1)       G (320003@1) I'll lick my wounds, could you pass the salt?

Gm7/C
Awwwwwww, If I were the king
All my subjects they would dance and sing
They could kiss my ring
            G (320003@1) G/B (143121@7) C2And (x32030@1)kiss my ass
G (320003@1)       D/F# (200232@1)   Em (022000@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1)When I'm old and grey

G (320003@1)       D/F# (200232@1)   Em (022000@1)"Give me one more day,
               Cadd9And (x32030@1)I'll still never do anything."

I can be that
but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything
