 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

Playin' hard, talkin' fast,

Makin' sure that he won't,
Cm7
 Be the last;

 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

Makes a deal, with a smile,
        C
Knowin' all the time,
         Cm7
That his lie's a mile;
G     D7      C       G
 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

        G                G7
Must be seen, there's no doubt,

There's no doubt,

Am7                   G/B
 If you tell him he's livin' fast,
C                 D
 He will say what do you know.
Em             D/F#
 If you had my kind of cash,
      G
You'd have more than,
    Am7
One place to go oh,

Any place; he will play,
    C
His only concern,
       Cm7
Is how much you'll pay;
G     D7      C       G
 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

      G            G7
If he shakes, on a bet,
         C
He's the kind of dude,
           Cm7
That won't pay his debt;
G     D7      C       G
 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

Chorus 2:

Am7
 When you say that,
     G/B
He's livin' wrong;
      C
He'll tell you he,
           D
Knows he's livin' right.
    Em          	 D/F#
And you'd be, a stronger man,
       G
If you took Misstra,

G      A7   C         D7
 Ooh...ooh, ooh ooh...ooh....
