E5 
I've got a regular problem 
       A5                             E5       B5   E5 
So my standard break from life is in order     
           E5 
I'm having trouble making sentences 
    A5                          E5       B5   E5 
I'm older but I don't feel any smarter 
        A5 
You see I don't know what I said to you 
    B5 
And now you're pissed at you know who 
    E5         A5 
And I guess I deserve it 
               E5                     B5                E5        B5 
I wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time  
         E5 
I try to leave a good impression 
         A5                             E5            B5  E5 
But it's hard when my obsession's in a wine glass 
                E5 
And when you're only 23 
         A5                                 E5         B5  E5 
It's not attractive to complain about your sore back 
          A5                        
Yes I can bitch until my eyes are blue 
    B5 
And you're in bed with someone new 
    E5           A5 
And I guess you deserve him 
             E5                     B5                E5      B5 
Wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time 
A5           B5 
You say I'm fixable 
E5               C#5 
A classic case, lack of will 
A5 
I say I don't wanna try 
           B5 
I'd rather stay here all night

           E5 
I've got a motivation problem 
      A5                                   E5       B5  E5 
So my standard break from life is getting longer 
      E5 
Spent over 30 hours in this bed 
   A5                            E5          B5  E5 
In two days, I guess I could've phoned her 
             A5 
But now that I'm awake 
                  B5 
I'd rather take a drink 
                      
And walk down to the lake 
    E5               A5 
And beg the sky for lightning bolts 
        E5                     B5                E5      B5 
I can't waste my time without wasting all your time 
A5            B5 
You say it's fixable 
  E5             C#5 
A classic case, lack of will 
A5              
I say I don't wanna try 
B5 
I'd rather sit here all night 
( E5 %  B5 )
