[Verse]
G Gm D Bm E7
Throwing candy out to the crowd, dragging down the main
G Gm D Bm E7
Helpless little thing with the dirty mouth who's always got something to say
G Gm D Bm E7
You're sitting around at home just waiting for your brother to call
G Gm G A
I saw him down in the alley, having had enough of it all
Said you can
[Chorus]
D Bm G A
Do what you want to whenever you want to
D Bm G Gm
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you
[Verse]
G Gm D E7
All spit and spite, you're up all night and down every day
G Gm D E7
A tired man with only hours to go just waiting to be taken away
G Gm D Bm E7
Getting into the back of a car for candy from some stranger
G Gm G A
Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger
[Chorus]
D Bm G A
Do what you want to whenever you want to
D Bm G A
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you
D Bm
You can do what you want to whenever you want to
D Bm
Do what you want to whenever you want to
G Gm
Do what you want to whenever you want to
D E G Gm
though it doesn't mean a thing
D Bm D Bm D
Big nothing
