Just an FYI:  The picking is easier if your fingers are in the chord position.  It 
easier transition between chords. You can also play the intro for the verses to change things 
a bit.

So I’m stuck here watching TV

I don’t have digital

To lighten up (I’m gonna tell ‘em that)
E                  B
I’ve got no one to blame
                      A
For every time I feel lame
