E                        A                        E
Time and time again Lord I keep going through the motions 
E                                              B slide down to A
A means to an end but the ends don't seem to meet 
E                              A                   E
Walking around living the dream anytime I take the notion
E                                   
Til the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweet 

A                                E
Ain't no point getting outta bed if you aint living the dream 
E                                                          B
It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream 
A
I don't need to change my strings 
E                              A
The dirt don't hurt the way I sing 
E                                              B                  E
I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die 

E                               A                        E
Been waiting on an angel waitress to come and take my order 
E                                 B      A
Tell me all about the special today 
E                                       A                E
Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much boarder 
E                                                B
Hoping them circles don't call back telling me to start today 

A                       E
That old man upstairs, he wears a crooked smile 
E                            B
Staring down at the chaos he created 
A                                 E
Said son if you ain't having fun just wait a little while 
E
Momma's gonna wash it all away 
E               B                  E
And she thinks Mercy's overrated
