(Verse)

G+G  Dsus2Dsus2  E minorEm  B minorBm
If I had my own way
C majorC      G6G6      D MajorD
You'd be with me here today

But I rarely have my own way
        C majorC        G6G6      D MajorD

And the librarian said

I said "Hey, lady, what can you expect
    C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
When I'm lyin' on the floor?"

C majorC D MajorD  G+G

(Repeat Verse and Chorus)

You're a lovely lady but you don't wanna' be
No friend of mine
Well the only thing you ever done for me
Was help me waste my time

And I saw you at the funeral
You were standin' there like a temple
I said, "Hi, how are you, hello"
And I pulled up the casket and crawled in
Yes I did


(Arpeggiate Verse chords with higher octave barre chords)

Climbed up a mountain
And I looked around
Some kind of circus with all them clowns (Harmonic BB string 7th fret)
I said "Hey, wait a minute,
Can't we slow down a bit?"
And I almost got hit by a truck (Harmonic BB string 7th fret)
Well, it just goes to show ya'
That we're all on our own
Scroungin' for your own share of good luck
Stab your brother in the back
And pick up your paycheck

C majorC B minorBm A minorAm G+G
C majorC B minorBm A minorAm


(Repeat Verse chords in first position)

Goodbye lonely heart drawings
You never did work anyhow
I'm lookin' for a nice girl
And I don't want no cow


(Repeat Chorus)

I'm heading out West
Gonna' find me the best
Well I played the game but I failed the test
If I can't be a lover then I'll be a pest
Yes I will
