Other Verses and Bridges are the same.

“Write and write and keep on writing….” is counted as a verse.

[Verse 1]
D A G D
There was a time in my life that I felt so all alone
D A G D
That I never thought that someday I would have a happy home
D A G D
A family and a four track radio shack microphone
D A G D
A backyard and a hammock and a paid off student loan
D A G D
A backyard and a hammock and a paid off student loan

[Chorus 1]
D A G D G A D D
So if you see me and I'm dreaming
D A G D G A D D
A-bout selling socks on e-Bay
D A G D G A D D
Shake me hard till I'm a-wake
D A G D D A G D
The stitches will unravel, the stitches will unravel
D A G D G A D
The stitches will unravel if you knit with fishing line
G A D G A D
Though your cast will be refined, You'd be better off with twine

[Verse 2]
D A G D
When I was a kid we would play Annie at recess
D A G D
I was always Sandy because I was the smallest
D A G D
From all that crawling on the blacktop there were holes in all my jeans,
D A G D
In the toes of my both shoes but I never complained
D A G D
Because I didn't think that I could sing
D A G D
See I never perfected that nasally thing
D A G D
When all the kids sang in the school play
D A G D
Now I know it's better if we don't all sound the same
D A G D
Now I know it's better if we don't all sound the same

[Chorus 2]
D A G D G A D D
So if you hear me and I'm screaming
D A G D G A D D
A-bout auditions for Annie
D A G D G A D D
I hope you will try out with me
D A G D G A D D
There are parts for e-v'rybody
G A D G A D
And you don't need to be the dog unless you like being the doggy

[Verse 3]
D A G D
He's up against a team that he has never seen before
D A G D
And they march into the outfield like they're marching off to war
D A G D
It's a good one out to right field but they're quick and make the play
D A G D
And as the curtain closes he just bows and walks away
D A G D
Singing, "If you're breathing you are living
D A G D
And if you're living you are learning
D A G D
So write and write and keep on writing
D A G D
Just make sure your life's exciting"

[Chorus 3]
D A G D G A D D
So if you see me and I've joined the roller derby
D A G D G A D D
Know that I've become something I always wanted to be
D A G D G A D
Fast and strong and part of a team
D A G D G A D
Teacher, thanks for every-thing

[Outro]
D A G D
You said "If you're breathing you are living
D A G D
If you're living you are learning
D A G D
So write and write and keep on writing
D A G D
Just make sure your life's exciting
D A G D
Write and write and keep on writing
D A G D
Just make sure your life's exciting
D A G D
Write and write and keep on writing
D A G D
Just make sure your life's exciting
D A G D
Just make sure your life's exciting
D A G D
Just make sure your life's exciting
