F Am
Hey, asshole
Am Dm
See the sun is shining
Dm Bb F
But you are not smiling
F C F
And I don't know why, and I don't know why, and I don't know why
F Am
I'm an asshole
Am Dm F
Cause the sun is shining
F Bb F
But I am not smiling
F C F
And I don't know why, and I don't know why, and I don't know why
F
I know I'm often told
Am
That there's a pot of gold
Dm
But I don't see a fucking rainbow and my coffee's cold
Bb
I know I should be grateful
F
I know I'm good and able
C
But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table
F
This kind of shot comes once
Am Dm
Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away
Dm
And that's the fifth this month
Bb
But when you take a punch
F
Don't you ever forget
C
Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next
F
Got the power of my will
F Am
I don't needa to win a mil
Am
But I'm looking at window sill
Dm
Gotta take a bitter pill
Dm
Gonna pay for what I did to my head and my heart'll foot the bill
Bb F
Got a foot in my mouth and because I'm kicking myself I developed a habit of knocking
out my front tooth
C
Looking uncouth
C
Want to hear the truth
C
Give it to me straight, 151 proof
F Am
Telling myself it'll happen when I'm happy but I'm climbing up a ladder that has got no end
Dm
Hung up on a rung I'll never make it to the top, I'm looking at the bottom and I must descend
Bb
All I want to do is buck this trend
F
Everybody need a buck to spend
C
And I'll be working on myself, til I work on someone else, til I get there Ima just pretend
F
I know I'm often told
Am
That there's a pot of gold
Dm
But I don't see a fucking rainbow and my coffee's cold
Bb
I know I should be grateful
F
I know I'm good and able
C
But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table

F C F
And I don't know why, and I don't know why, and I don't know why
F
When I'm in a crisis
Am
In a moment of silence
Dm
I look under my eyelids
Dm
And I'm checking my mileage
Bb F
I been using a pool of water as a mirror but not for style it's
C
So I can reach in and pimpslap my reflection for acting childish
F
Spent a half an hour
Am
Sitting at the bottom of my shower
Dm
Letting the water run over my body and (dammit I wanted to get up) but I didn't have the power
Bb F C
I don't have the answer anyway yay (yay yay yay (x2)
F
Don't want to panic but I got to come clean
Am
Because the plan of the planet is just mean
Dm
Knew if was tough, but dammit it's obscene
Dm Bb
I been huffing and puffing up to the top of the summit and I'mma rough it if I have
enough steam
F C
I'll keep on coming and coming until I'm coming with the stamina of a salmon who's
heading upstream
C F
Nah nah nah nah nah
Am Dm
Nah nah nah nah nah
Dm Bb F
Nah nah nah nah nah
