[Intro]
Gm7/C

[Verse 1]
G          G/f#       Em7  C9
 Wiped out down the stairs
G         G/f#          Em7         C9
 I'll bet you there's a song in there
G             G/f#        Em7   C9     G   G/F#   Em7   C9
 I'm not sure I'm prepared   to write it down
G         G/f#      Em7  C9
 That guy should be me
G         G/f#        Em7   C9
 I'd look much better on t.v.
G         G/f#         Em7
 Then the world would see
     C9
That I can do anything

[Chorus]
G       G/A
  I can be that
                G/B
But soon you'll see that
       C2                
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]
C        G/B     Am        B7/F#   Em  Em/F#  Em/G  Em/F#
  Don't write me off as an also ran
C      G/B     Am        B7     G
 Just mark me down as an angry man
      G/f#                  Em7
Got a big chip, you want a fat lip?
             C1
How 'bout a mouthful of Chiclets?
C      G/B       Am           B7/F#    Em  Em/F#  Em/G  Em/F#
  Life passed me by, but it's not my fault
C      G/B     Am                B7         G
  I'll lick my wounds, could you pass the salt?

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

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

[Instrumental]
Gm7/C

[Bridge 2]
Gm7/C
Awwwwwww, If I were the king
All my subjects they would dance and sing
They could kiss my ring
            G   G/B   C2
And kiss my ass
G         D/F#     Em   C9
 When I'm old and grey
G          D/F#       Em          C9
 I'll look back on my life and say
G         D/F#     Em
 "Give me one more day,
               C9
And I'll still never do anything."

[Chorus] (x4)
I can be that
but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything

[End on G]
