♫ Intro:

A minorAm DmDm G+G FF E MajorE  (x3)


♫ Verse :

    A minorAm
I walk on decrepit bricks and kick sticks and rusty soda cans
DmDm
Simply for lack of better stimulation
  G+G             FF
Motivation comes and goes like gas station patrons
  E MajorE
So sedation compensates for unexpected vacations (thank you)
A minorAm
That's my pre-gratitude
           DmDm
Post-please leave me alone that's just my rude attitude
        G+G            FF
No dysfunction flipside
I'm just your ordinary citizen
    E MajorE
They're waiting patiently for me to sin again, but then again (shit )
A minorAm
I'm really mommy's little angel
     DmDm
But that angel on my shoulder got strangled
       G+G                   FF
For trying to tangle with his nemesis he caught him on the wrong day
    E MajorE
And got cut like DJs spinning doubles (let the fucking song play)
A minorAm
I'm on my way to the store ignoring the city
  DmDm
To purchase a pack of Marb' Reds with a stack of rolled pennies
G+G               FF
I could go for Denny's, and my stomach holds plenty
    E MajorE
But my pockets got holes
I guess the goal is to stay empty
A minorAm
Quite simply put: me and my pockets share interest
DmDm                               G+G
I'll never fall in love with that pretty green-eyed temptress, twice (yeah right)
       FF
I learned my lesson the first time
    E MajorE                            A minorAm
I just couldn't keep up with that ever-changing Jordan line of foot apparel
              DmDm
Parallel to many clones, my eye's vision monochromes with seven shades and twenty tones
    G+G            FF
Plus I breath artistic, they eating everything I'm feeding them
   E MajorE
Put myself in every painting and use my spit as mat medium
A minorAm
And results of my children, we share the same genes
     DmDm
Cast the same reflection and interpret the same dreams
   G+G           FF        E MajorE
Like whoa, like whoa, like whoa, like whoa (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)

♫ Chorus:

    A minorAm
And at night
I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose (Absolutely no purpose)
DmDm
Feeling like I'm worthless (Feeling like I'm worthless)
  G+G               FF
But contrary to my last statement
I feel fine
E MajorE
Content with the fact that I know this city's mine
    A minorAm
And at night
I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose (Absolutely no purpose)
DmDm
Feeling like I'm worthless (Feeling like I'm worthless)
  G+G               FF
But contrary to my last statement
I feel fine
E MajorE
Content with the fact that I know this city's mine


♫ Verse 2:

    A minorAm
I walk down dead end streets like I didn't see the sign
    DmDm
Just to turn around and walk back
    G+G                    FF
That's fine and dandy, but what's whack is the fact I'm still walking
E MajorE
Like "Thank God for walkmans."
A minorAm
I'm only yawning cause these simply minded mortals make me sleepy
  DmDm
So what do I do? I resort to T.V
    G+G                      FF
In the seemingly lousy attempt to numb myself with lackluster images
  E MajorE
And insignificant information like "Willis was really Ty Bridges"
    A minorAm
Just to have the upper hand in monotonous conversations
DmDm
And for lack of better stimulation
       G+G             FF
I'm painting portraits of dysfunctional families with gloomy faces
    E MajorE
Rockin' "Don't Worry
Be Happy" t-shirts, and you're assuming I'm tasteless?
A minorAm
You misconstrue it but your babies will embrace it
DmDm
The basic essentials of a very bitter young man
   G+G                FF
That kicks rusty soda cans and walks on decrepit bricks
    E MajorE
With a permanent pair of headphones trying to make these lectures stick
      A minorAm
I'll let the protestors picket, like they are gonna make a difference
        DmDm
And watch them die before they realize that their cause was nonexistent
G+G     FF       E MajorE
Like their cause was nonexistent


♫ Chorus 2:

    A minorAm
And at night
I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose (Absolutely no purpose)
DmDm
Feeling like I'm worthless (Feeling like I'm worthless)
  G+G               FF
But contrary to my last statement
I feel fine
E MajorE
Content with the fact that I know this city's mine
    A minorAm
And at night
I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose (Absolutely no purpose)
DmDm
Feeling like I'm worthless (Feeling like I'm worthless)
  G+G               FF
But contrary to my last statement
I feel fine
E MajorE
Content with the fact that I know this city's mine


♫ Verse 3:

     A minorAm
I walk on shitty city sidewalks stepping on every single crack
  DmDm
Reminiscent of that joke we used to say when we were snotty nose
G+G              FF
My purpose got defeated when my mind turned paraplegic
    E MajorE
Plus I failed my civil service exam, they said I cheated
   A minorAm                             DmDm
Not to mention tainted urine samples and the attention span of a second-grader
                            G+G
More fascinated with building blocks than wasting time stressing his daily lesson
FF              E MajorE
Hence the ridilin
I've been gone with the wind like lucky lottery tickets since day one (one)
A minorAm
I stepped on the left cause right's wrong (wrong)
DmDm                              G+G
So what do I do? I resort to friendly games of ping pong and sing a song in "Sixpence"
FF               E MajorE
I'm "None the Richer"
I just kiss her on the lips and keep trucking


♫ Chorus 3:

    A minorAm
And at night
I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose (Absolutely no purpose)
DmDm
Feeling like I'm worthless (Feeling like I'm worthless)
  G+G               FF
But contrary to my last statement
I feel fine
E MajorE
Content with the fact that I know this city's mine
    A minorAm
And at night
I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose (Absolutely no purpose)
DmDm
Feeling like I'm worthless (Feeling like I'm worthless)
  G+G               FF
But contrary to my last statement
I feel fine
E MajorE
Content with the fact that I know this city's mine
