Tough Guy Blues

VERSE 1
N.C.
I came hungry
Came to make me some money
Got my blues from the karate kid
And my roots from Bugs Bunny

F#m   A  E   x2

N.C.
Well I burned out and got older
My spirit smoldered
Stuffed a sock in my pants 
And tossed a chip on my shoulder

F#m   A  E   x2

N.C.
Well I gave up thinking 
And I took up drinking
To emanicipate my mind like
Abraham Lincoln

F#m   A  E   x2

N.C.
Then I robbed and I ripped
Wagging my lips 
Singing bibbidibobbidibibbidibib

F#m   A  E   x2

CHORUS 1
A                                     F#m
I got drunk and I smoked a lot of cigarettes
A                                       F#m
I got a hangover but I never got rid of it
  D                               Bm
My heart got broke and my brain got bruised
F#m                E                        F#m
I still don't know a thing about the tough guy blues

VERSE 2
N.C.
There was this little flirt 
Popping out of her shirt
Smiling and laughing
Hanging on to each word
N.C.
So innocent and sweet 
Rockin' to the beat
I tapped that keg 
Like she tapped her little feet

CHORUS 2
A                               F#m
A girl half my age in love with me
A                          F#m
I got busted at age thirty three 
  D                               Bm
My heart got broke and my brain got bruised
      F#m             E                          F#m
But I still don't know a thing about the tough guy blues

BRIDGE
Bm                            F#m
So high so fast that's when I crashed
Bm                                 C#7
Down in the gutter tossed out of my ass

VERSE 3
N.C.
Like a cartoon Saturday morning
I wave by still hovering
And splat on the ground
Know the true meaning of suffering

F#m   A  E   x2

N.C.
I got a reason for the anger
Like a blind blues singer
I gouge out my eyes 
And let a stray dog lick my finger

F#m   A  E   x2

CHORUS 3
A                          F#m
I get sad sometimes act suicidal
A                                         F#m
I look like Jesus but I've never read the Bible
D                                    Bm
My heart got broke and my brain got bruised
      F#m              E                         F#m
But I still don't know a thing about the tough guy blues
