B minorBm
[Verse]
G+G G minorGm D MajorD B minorBm
Throwing candy out to the crowd, dragging down the main
G+G G minorGm D MajorD B minorBm E7E7
Helpless little thing with the dirty mouth who's always got something to say
G+G G minorGm D MajorD B minorBm E7E7
You're sitting around at home just waiting for your brother to call
G+G G minorGm
I saw him down in the alley, having had enough of it all
Said you can
[Chorus]
D MajorD B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
Do what you want to whenever you want to
D MajorD B minorBm G+G G minorGm
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you
[Verse]
G+G G minorGm D MajorD B minorBm
All spit and spite, you're up all night and down every day
G+G G minorGm D MajorD E7E7
A augmentedA tired man with only hours to go just waiting to be taken away
G+G G minorGm D MajorD B minorBm E7E7
Getting into the back of a car for candy from some stranger
G+G G minorGm
Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger
[Chorus]
D MajorD B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
Do what you want to whenever you want to
D MajorD B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you
D MajorD B minorBm
You can do what you want to whenever you want to
D MajorD B minorBm
Do what you want to whenever you want to
G+G G minorGm
Do what you want to whenever you want to
D MajorD E MajorE G+G G minorGm
though it doesn't mean a thing
D MajorD B minorBm D MajorD B minorBm D MajorD
