   What a terrible day I want a quick fix
Cmaj7                                     Em7      D
   I’m coming 'round for sympathy, can you show it
Cmaj7                               Em7        D
   I need a little maternal love no assistance
Cmaj7                                       Em7      D
   Now I’m so upset because I forget how you show it

Pre-Chorus:

   Heard something I don’t like
                            A
   Tried your best to get it right
                          A
   Too bad I’m served over ice

You might wanna tread a little lighter
Em7               D             Cmaj7
One mistake you’ll fall into the fryer
   Em7               D              Cmaj7
You may be tense but I bet I’m wound tighter

Cmaj7                                      Em7   D
   Another Saturday night young band on the road
Cmaj7                                    Em7      D
   Decision time my big talk brews and we know it
Cmaj7                                         Em7   D
   Say your piece, move on, yeah that’s how it goes
Cmaj7                                              Em7      D
   I get so attached, I’m feeling attacked and they know it

   Too bad I’m served over ice

Maybe I should be a little kinder
   Em7           D            Cmaj7
I’m icing out the ones that I admire
           Em7             D                      Cmaj7
Tried your best, still I’m upset and you’re on the wire
