I Don't Wanna Get Wise chords by The Who

Intro:
Eb  F x3
Eb  N.C.

Verse 1:
N.C.  F
He was drunk, I was blind
     Bb     C
Though we tried to be kind
   F
I was sunk, always late
    Bb    F C
We were quick to rotate
     Dm       C
Let's be blunt, I was a bluff
      Bb      F
And the surreal life was tough
    Dm      C
I was a runt, we told lies
    Eb
But to our great surprise

Pre-Chorus:
    Gm7     C
All the sh*t that we did
        Gm7   C
Brought us some money, I guess
     Gm7     C
And those snotty young kids
    Gm     C
Were a standing success
     Bb     F
Helped us conquer and rise
    Bb       C
And we learned in this hell

Chorus:
N.C.        F
We don't wanna get wise
F
(I don't wanna get wise
F
I don't wanna get wise)
        Eb  N.C.
Life teaches us well

Interlude:
Eb  F  Eb


Verse 2:
Eb    F
We still pull, we get smug
    Bb     C
And we all like a drug
   F
Over full, always sated
Bb     F C
Puffed up, elated
    Dm     C
Let's admit our mistakes
     Dm      F
Are what triggered our breaks
     Dm       C
We were sh*ts, oh, no disguise
    Eb
And it is no surprise

Pre-Chorus:
     Gm7     C
That the cr*p that we did
      Gm7    C
Brought us money, God bless
     Gm7     C
And those snotty young kids
    Gm     C
Were a standing success
     Bb     F
Helped us conquer and rise
    Bb       C
And we learned in this hell

Chorus:
N.C.        F
We didn't wanna get wise
F
(I don't wanna get wise
F
I don't wanna get wise)
        Eb  N.C.
Life teaches us well

Bridge:
Eb       Dm7
Experiment, you universe
Cm7        Bb
We'll ask why you choose to curse
          Ab
Why set a fire you plan to douse?
C                Eb
Why set a rat to catch a mouse?

He was drunk (he was drunk), I was blind (he was blind)

    Bb     C
We were quick to rotate
     Dm      C
We tried hard to stay young
    Bb       F
But the high notes were sung
      Dm         C
We've been scarred, we've been prized
       Eb       F
But you could see in our eyes
