Verse 1:

FF
I'm workin' on my rewrite, that's right

Bb majorBb        FF
Gonna change the ending

Bb majorBb       FF
Throw away the title

  Bb majorBb       FF
And toss it in the trash

   Bb majorBb      FF
Every minute after midnight

    Bb majorBb    FF
All the time I'm spending

      Bb majorBb      FF
Is just for workin' on my rewrite, that's right

   Bb majorBb      FF
Gonna turn it into cash

    Bb majorBb       FF
I been workin' at the car wash

   Bb majorBb     FF

      Bb majorBb      FF
'Cause it's really not a pay job

  Bb majorBb       FF
But that's where I am

   Bb majorBb       FF
Everybody says "The old guy

  Bb majorBb       FF
Workin' at the car wash?"
