Wise Up Chords by Aimee Mann

docweasel was close, but he missed a few things in the chorus.

You can either play this song with a capo on the 2nd fret (my preference), or without 
has a large jump between Gsus2 and D).  I've included both versions.

w/Capo on 2nd Fret:
Fsus2: xx3213
D7:    23023x
D:      20023x

It's not
     Fsus2      C
What you thought
         Fsus2       C
When you first began       it
     Am          F         C
You got
    Fsus2      C
What you  want
          Fsus2      C
Now you can hardly stand it though,
    Am                        F
By now you know
   D7
It's not      going to stop
     Fsus2       D7      F      D
It's not      going to stop
     Fsus2       D7      F      D
It's not going to stop
     C     G      Bb       F
'Til you wise up
              Fsus2      C

You're sure
       Fsus2      C
There's a cure
          Fsus2       C
And you have finally found    it
    Am               F        C
You think
    Fsus2      C
One drink
    Fsus2      C
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
     Am                     F
And living down
    D7
But it's not      going to stop
         Fsus2      D7     F      D
It's not      going to stop
     Fsus2      D7     F      D
It's not going to stop
     C     G      Bb      F
'Til you wise up
              Fsus2      C

Prepare a list of what you need
   F
Before you sign away the deed
  D7
'Cause it's not       going to stop
            Fsus2        D7    F      D
It's not      going to stop
     Fsus2      D7     F      D
It's not going to stop
     C     G      Bb
'Til you wise up
     F           C
No, it's not going to stop
         G            Bb
'Til you wise up
     F                   C
No, it's not going to stop
         G            Bb     F
So just...give up
                      Fsus2   C
                      Fsus2   C...
