[Intro]
G5

[Verse 1]
G5          G/f#       E5  C5
 Wiped out down the stairs
G5         G/f#          E5         C5
 I'll bet you there's a song in there
G5             G/f#        E5   C5     G5   G5   E5   C5
 I'm not sure I'm prepared   to write it down
G5         G/f#      E5  C5
 That guy should be me
G5         G/f#        E5   C5
 I'd look much better on t.v.
G5         G/f#         E5
 Then the world would see
     C5
That I can do anything

[Chorus]
G5       G5
  I can be that
                G5
But soon you'll see that
       C5                
I will never do anything

Gm7/C (x7, palm mute after each one)

[Verse 2]
Let's play tic tac toe
I'll play X, you can be the O.
Thoughts of turning pro
Have crossed my mind
I could make a mint
Fill my pockets with more than lint
I'll give you a hint
It involves the "internet"

[Chorus] (x2)
I can be that
But soon you'll see that
I will never do anything

[Bridge 1]
C5        G5     A5        B5   E5  E5  E5  E5
  Don't write me off as an also ran
C5      G5     A5        B5     G5
 Just mark me down as an angry man
      G/f#                  E5
Got a big chip, you want a fat lip?
             C1
How 'bout a mouthful of Chiclets?
C5      G5       A5           B5    E5  E5  E5  E5
  Life passed me by, but it's not my fault
C5      G5     A5                B5         G5
  I'll lick my wounds, could you pass the salt?

[Chorus] (x2)
I can be that, but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything

Gm7/C (x7, palm mute after each one)

[Instrumental]
G5

[Bridge 2]
G5
Awwwwwww, If I were the king
All my subjects they would dance and sing
They could kiss my ring
            G5   G5   C5
And kiss my ass
G5         D5     E5   C5
 When I'm old and grey
G5          D5       E5          C5
 I'll look back on my life and say
G5         D5     E5
 "Give me one more day,
               C5
And I'll still never do anything."

[Chorus] (x4)
I can be that
but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything

[End on G]
