A7 Cadd9 A7 Cadd9
[VERSE 1]
A7 Cadd9
I can't help the way I want
A7 Cadd9
I was born on a Friday
A7 Cadd9
Need new air in my lungs
A7 C7
Lovin' me a good sideways and
A7 Cadd9
My disciples are only happy when I'm leading
A7 Cadd9
Saying "it's too late to be a crooner"
A7 Cadd9 A7 D7
I'm okay with being a late bloomer
[CHORUS]
G Em
Mama, I'm going sideways oh whoa
G Em Am D
Mama, I'm going sideways oh whoa hey yeah yeah
Am D A7 C7
Hey yeah yeah
[VERSE 2]
A7
Smiling, dancing, make believing I was happy
A7 C7
But the prettier the picture, the border the bitch is
A7 Cadd9
It was a Sunday or someday or a something
A7 Cadd9
And I was getting ready, dressed up for nothing
A7 Cadd9
Ain't got nothing on my agenda
A7 Cadd9
Still no time to call my Mama, mama, mama...
[CHORUS]
G Em
Mama, I'm going sideways oh whoa
G Em
Mama, I'm going sideways oh whoa
Am D A7 C7
Hey yeah yeah
[BRIDGE]

A Am
It was a Tuesday and I was the Lizard Queen
A Am
Had on my cheap jeans and I was dreaming
A Am
Heavy, wholeheartedly about the things I want to be
A Am
And all the things I wasn't, I knew I'd need a budget
A Am
Got me a job and planned real good
A Am
But all the planning didn't go as it should
A Am A Am
I was distracted by the people walking faster than me, me
[CHORUS]
G Em
Mama, I'm going sideways oh whoa
G Em Am D
Mama, I'm going sideways oh whoa hey yeah yeah
Am D
