Intro:

Verse 1:
      D MajorD
Your joy is killing me
        G+G
I don't have anything
 B minorBm                    A augmentedA
Remember when we used to wear each other's clothes?
        D MajorD
Yeah, I've been struggling
      G+G
But I know lots of things
       B minorBm                  A augmentedA
And I got an idea that's gonna turn on the money hose

Chorus 1:
G+G              A augmentedA
Choking on a joke, tryin' to keep it light
    D MajorD          B minorBm
I could never quite get the timing right
  G+G               A augmentedA
But you, you'll never know how it feels
    G+G A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
I got ideas
   A augmentedA     D MajorD
M-hm-mm, no one knows


Verse 2:
        D MajorD
We watched you on TV
     G+G
At the Recovery
  B minorBm                     A augmentedA
The sound was good but you're always lookin' down
        D MajorD
Don't take this personally
      G+G
But man, if that was me
       B minorBm                     A augmentedA
I'd make more eye contact with the camera, kinda work the crowd

Chorus 2:
  G+G                  A augmentedA
You probably think I'd call to say that you were right
    D MajorD          B minorBm
But I'm blackout drunk in a cotton field on a Friday night
G+G                     A augmentedA
And I got nothing to do but tell you how I feel
    G+G A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
I got ideas
   A augmentedA       D MajorD
Oo-oo-oo, so watch out


Verse 3:
  D MajorD
You always think I'm bluffin'
       G+G
Like I'm some kind of Mississippi nuthin'
     B minorBm                      A augmentedA
But I was first-string quarterback, drove you everywhere
         D MajorD
Or that time when Ronnie hit you so hard
       G+G
You tried to drive and wrecked your car
       B minorBm                 A augmentedA
And I had to help you wash the blood out of your hair


Chorus 3:
      G+G    A augmentedA
'Cause I've always been
    D MajorD   B minorBm
Like a go-to friend
         G+G
Well, maybe it's true
         A augmentedA           D MajorD B minorBm
Maybe I'm just a blue-collar version of you
  G+G    A augmentedA   D MajorD
O-o-oh, o-o-oh, o-oh
  B minorBm   G+G   A augmentedA
O-o-oh, o-o-oh, o-oh


Outro:
      D MajorD
You're on a winning streak
        G+G
But I got laid off last week
       B minorBm              A augmentedA
But I got a plan that's gonna turn it all around
   G+G A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
I got ideas
    A augmentedA
I got ideas
    D MajorD
No one knows
