CmBb Woke up this morning and it seemed to me, that every night turns out to be Ab a little bit more like Bukowski. And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read. CmBbAb But God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole? CmBbAb God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole? CmBb Well we sat on the edge of the river, the crowd screamed "Sacrifice the liver!" Ab If God takes life, he's an Indian giver. So tell me now why you'll tell me never. CmBbAbCm Who would wanna be? Who would wanna be such a control freak? Well who would BbAb wanna be? Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Well see what you wanna see. You should see it all. Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all. Nine times out of ten, our hearts just get dissolved. Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall. But one time out of ten, everything is perfect for us all. Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
[Verse 3] (same as verse 1)
Here we go! If God controls the land and disease, and keeps a watchful eye on me, if he's really so damn mighty, well my problem is that I can't see, well who'd wanna be? Who'd wanna be such a control freak? Well who would wanna be? Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know? Evil me, oh yeah I know, what good curves can you throw? Well all that icing and all that cake, I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'm gonna be at your wake. You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day, when you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, OK?
[Verse 5] (same as verse 1)
Went to bed and didn't see why every day turns out to be a little bit more like Bukowski. And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read. But God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole?
