G Bm C G
Hold up in a dressing room without a dress
D C D
Kneeling at the confessional with nothing to confess
C
And I knew all about my surprised party
G Em
I was spoiled and depressed
G Bm
But I acted surprise and I told lots of lies
C G
Yes I did my best
G Bm
Stop the truck at the truck stop
C G
I need something to help me crash
D
Food stamp cheque and credit cards
C G
But they only accepted cash
C
That was sweat beating on my brow
G Em
My heart was beating out of my chest
G Bm
So I stole everything they couldn't give away
C G
Yes I did my best
G D
And I did the best that I could do
Bm
With all the mess that I've been through
D C
What did u expect me to do
Bm
I did my best for you
I was waiting for a chain reaction
With a missing link
Waiting for that trickle down
Forever circling the sink
I was tired of being tired
I could not get no rest
So I kept sleepwalking and talking in my sleep
Yes I did my best
And I did the best that I could do
With all the mess that I've been through
What did u expect me to do
I did my best for you
I did my best for you
I did my best for you
