I've got a regular problem
      A                              E      B  E
So my standard break from life is in order
           E
I'm having trouble making sentences
    A                         E      B  E
I'm older but I don't feel any smarter
          A
You see I don't know what I said to you
    B
And now you're pissed at you know who
    E            A
And I guess I deserve it
               E                     B                E
I wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
         E
I try to leave a good impression
         A                             E     B  E
But it's hard when my obsession's in a wine glass
                E
And when you're only 23
         A                                 E     B  E
It's not attractive to complain about your sore back
          A
Yes I can bitch until my eyes are blue
    B
And you're in bed with someone new
    E              A
And I guess you deserve him
             E                     B                E         A
Wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
A           B
You say I'm fixable
  E             C#m
A classic case, lack of will
A
I say I don't wanna try
           B
I'd rather stay here all night

I've got a motivation problem
      A                                   E     B  E
So my standard break from life is getting longer
           E
Spent over 30 hours in this bed
   A                            E     B  E
In two days, I guess I could've phoned her
             A
But now that I'm awake
                  B
I'd rather take a drink
B
And walk down to the lake
    E               A
And beg the sky for lightning bolts
        E                     B                E        A
I can't waste my time without wasting all your time
             B
You say it's fixable
  E             C#m
A classic case, lack of will
A
I say I don't wanna try
           B
I'd rather sit here all night
