G5 D5 C5 G5 When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad C5 G5 D5 C5 G5 Seems like total silence is the only friend I have D5 C5 G5 C5 G5 A bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won D5 C5 G5 C5 G5 And it was twelve o'clock before I realized that I was havin' no fun D5 C5 G5 C5 G5 Ah, but fortunately I have the key to escape reality C5 G5 And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile D5 G5 It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while C5 G5 Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone D5 C5 G5 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
