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

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


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


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


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


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


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