           E5
I've got a regular problem
      A5                              E5      B5  E5
So my standard break from life is in order
           E5
I'm having trouble making sentences
    A5                         E5      B5  E5
I'm older but I don't feel any smarter
          A5
You see I don't know what I said to you
    B5
And now you're pissed at you know who
    E5            A5
And I guess I deserve it
               E5                     B5                E5
I wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
         E5
I try to leave a good impression
         A5                             E5     B5  E5
But it's hard when my obsession's in a wine glass
                E5
And when you're only 23
         A5                                 E5     B5  E5
It's not attractive to complain about your sore back
          A5
Yes I can bitch until my eyes are blue
    B5
And you're in bed with someone new
    E5              A5
And I guess you deserve him
             E5                     B5                E5         A5
Wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
A5           B5
You say I'm fixable
  E5             C#5
A classic case, lack of will
A5
I say I don't wanna try
           B5
I'd rather stay here all night

           E5
I've got a motivation problem
      A5                                   E5     B5  E5
So my standard break from life is getting longer
           E5
Spent over 30 hours in this bed
   A5                            E5     B5  E5
In two days, I guess I could've phoned her
             A5
But now that I'm awake
                  B5
I'd rather take a drink
B5
And walk down to the lake
    E5               A5
And beg the sky for lightning bolts
        E5                     B5                E5        A5
I can't waste my time without wasting all your time
             B5
You say it's fixable
  E5             C#5
A classic case, lack of will
A5
I say I don't wanna try
           B5
I'd rather sit here all night
