[Intro]
Gm7/C
[Verse 1]
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9
Wiped out down the stairs
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9
I'll bet you there's a song in there
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G G/F# Em7 Cadd9
I'm not sure I'm prepared to write it down
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9
That guy should be me
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9
I'd look much better on t.v.
G G/F# Em7
Then the world would see
Cadd9
That I can do anything
[Chorus]
G G/A
I can be that
G/B
But soon you'll see that
C2
I will never do anything
Gm7/C (x7, palm mute after each one)

[Verse 2]
Let's play tic tac toe
I'll play X, you can be the O.
Thoughts of turning pro
Have crossed my mind
I could make a mint
Fill my pockets with more than lint
I'll give you a hint
It involves the "internet"
[Chorus] (x2)
I can be that
But soon you'll see that
I will never do anything
[Bridge 1]
C G/B Am B7/F# Em Em/F# Em/G Em/F#
Don't write me off as an also ran
C G/B Am B7 G
Just mark me down as an angry man
G/F# Em7
Got a big chip, you want a fat lip?
C1
How 'bout a mouthful of Chiclets?
C G/B Am B7/F# Em Em/F# Em/G Em/F#
Life passed me by, but it's not my fault
C G/B Am B7 G
I'll lick my wounds, could you pass the salt?
[Chorus] (x2)
I can be that, but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything
Gm7/C (x7, palm mute after each one)
[Instrumental]
Gm7/C
[Bridge 2]
Gm7/C
Awwwwwww, If I were the king
All my subjects they would dance and sing
They could kiss my ring
G G/B C2
And kiss my ass
G D/F# Em Cadd9
When I'm old and grey
G D/F# Em Cadd9
I'll look back on my life and say
G D/F# Em
"Give me one more day,
Cadd9
And I'll still never do anything."
[Chorus] (x4)
I can be that
but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything
[End on G]
