Intro: A (and then the bass slides down from A to Ab to E and then F#)

F#5        B5   E5
You don't know
          A5        Ab5       F#5  
You don't know how hard it's been
F#5        B5                    E5              
I tried so hard to be good but I just can't win
A5  Ab5  F#5          B5          E5
         So I got no mother now
          A5       Ab5    F#5
No one to slap me on the wrists
               B5
With no one to be good for
       D5     A5
I just can't resist

(Bass Slide from the intro again)

E5         F#5 
  Well anyways
          B5                 D5
Who's to say whats right and wrong?
        A5          C#5       D5             A5
I've sinned to the preacher, livid to the teacher
   B5                 A5
So whose side are you on?
B5            E5
Please don't pray for me
A5                 F#5
You'll waste your breath
B5               E5               B5  A5 
They don't take Jerks like me in heaven.

(Bass Slide)

F#5        B5
You don't know
E5          A5        Ab5      F#5
You don't know how far I've gone
                  B5                          E5             A5 Ab5
There's been some shit I've done that'd scare almost anyone
F#5                B5
Sure, I made some enemies
E5                A5        Ab5           F#5
Some don't even know who they are just yet
                 B5               D5     A5
I'm sure on that fateful day they won't forget
E5                    F#5
So whats this all about?
     B5                     D5
Some half-assed cry for help
     A5            C#5
It's just another ditty
D5         A5        B5                A5
"Oh what a pity, the boy can't help himself"
B5                E5
So please don't cry for me
A5                  F#5
You'll waste your tears
B5                 E5                          D5      A5
You'd think I'd of learned something the past thirty years.
                                            B5      A5
