G D C G When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad C G D C G Seems like total silence is the only friend I have D C G C G A bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won D C G C G And it was twelve o'clock before I realized that I was havin' no fun D C G C G Ah, but fortunately I have the key to escape reality C G And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile D G It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while C G Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone D C G No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun Last time I checked my bankroll, well it was gettin' thin Sometimes it seems like the bottom is the only place I've been Chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen Chorus I sat down in my closet with all my overalls Just tryin' to get away from all the years inside these walls Dreamed the police heard everything I thought... what then? Well I went to court and the judge's name was Hoffman Chorus
