[Intro]
G Em7 Cadd9 G (x4)
[Verse]
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Well, my lawyer walked in the room
G Em7 Cadd9 G
And he said, "Sit down, son, I ain't got good news"
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Well, she's taking your kid away
G Em7 Cadd9 G
And now you've gotta pay
G Em7 Cadd9 G
But my boss just cut my hours
G Em7 Cadd9 G
And I've been feeling weak
G Em7 Cadd9 G
My baby knows how I've been feeling
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Yeah, why she wanna do this to me?
[Interlude]
G Em7 Cadd9 G (x4)
[Verse]
G Em7 Cadd9 G
I think she tried to make it work
G Em7 Cadd9 G
But it was her mama standing in the way
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Yeah, she never did like my guitar
G Em7 Cadd9 G
She always called me a mistake
G Em7 Cadd9 G
But she got a grandchild out of me
G Em7 Cadd9 G
And some photo albums sitting on the shelf
G Em7 Cadd9 G
So how mad can she really be?
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Turns out she's mad, and mad as hell
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Yeah, well I'm a natural disaster
Em7 Cadd9 G
I'll tear down your house
Cadd9 G
Yeah, well I'm a strain of cancer
Em7 Cadd9 G
I ain't good for no one else
[Interlude]
G Em7 Cadd9 G (x4)
[Verse]
G Em7 Cadd9 G
And I've been going out at night
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Looking for what led me astray
G Em7 Cadd9 G
And I come back with worn out excuses
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Maybe it's the night that took it all away
G Em7 Cadd9 G
And I've got next to nothing in my bank account
G Em7 Cadd9 G
But I've got some friends that bail me out
G Em7 Cadd9 G
It's a hard life, I tell ya
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Living hand to mouth
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Yeah, well I'm a natural disaster
Em7 Cadd9 G
I'll tear down your house
Cadd9 G
Yeah, well I'm a strain of cancer
Em7 Cadd9 G
I ain't good for no one else
[Solo]

Em7 Cadd9 G
[Verse]
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Now I'm walking down North Avenue
G Em7 Cadd9 G
On a cold, cold day
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Down below is the Chicago River
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Down below I think I'd like to stay
G Em7 Cadd9 G
So I jump right in
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Cause I don't wanna disappoint no more
G Em7 Cadd9 G
And all the memories, they turned into nightmares
G Em7 Cadd9 G
I think my welcome's been well-worn
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Yeah, well I'm a natural disaster
Em7 Cadd9 G
I'll tear down your house
Cadd9 G
Yeah, well I'm a strain of cancer
Em7 Cadd9 G
I ain't good for no one else
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Yeah, I ain't even good for my own damn self
Em7 Cadd9 G
I ain't good for no one else
[Outro]
