[Verse 1]
G Em C D
Unfortunately I am
G Em C D D#m
My own dog, my own fur companion
Em A
My own old lady on a forum
C Cm
Who types in glittery decorum
G Em C D
Unfortunately I take
G Em C D D#m
Myself out walking every day
Em A
I hand my legs to the feet and
C Cm
I give my head to the leash
[Chorus]
Am D
Every other day I’m wondering
G E7
What’s a human being gotta be like
Am D
What’s a way to just be competent
G E7
These sweet instincts ruin my life
Am D
Every other day I’m wondering
G E7
Was it a mistake to try and define
Am D
What I’m certain’s mad incompetence
G Am Bm Cm
These sweet instincts ruin my life
[Verse 2]
G Em C D
I can't smell well, or tell the time.
G Em C D D#
Not K through 8, nor K - 9.
Em A
(For human, grossly underqualified
C Cm
For canine, grossly overqualified)
G Em C D
I don’t blend in at Pet-Smart
G Em C D D#
That truth remains for the Walmart
Em A
'Cause in either case they say to me
C Cm
"What the fuck is lost in aisle 3?"
[Chorus]
Am D
Every other day I’m wondering
G E7
What’s a human being gotta be like
Am D
What’s a way to just be competent
G E7
These sweet instincts ruin my life
Am D
Every other day I’m wondering
G E7
Was it a mistake to try and define
Am D
What I’m certain’s mad incompetence
G Am Bm Cm
These sweet instincts ruin my life

A F#m D E
Just watch me, moving far away
A F#m D E Fm
Nobody even knows my name and
F#m B
No one suspects that I’m not fine, and
D Dm
Nobody outs behavioral Frankenstein
A F#m D E
Just look at Victor in LA
A F#m D E Fm
And Syd with the y; State U of A,
F#m B
And all the majors at the labels -
D Dm
Rebooting soon as I am able
