(Intro:)
E
It was a pretty good GPA
We got a couple of good grades
AB
And it sounded like a pretty good seven inch
E
And winter didn't feel so cold
I had a smile for everyone I know
ABE
I was starting to get comfortable in the place that I'm in
BA
And it used to not mean anything
BA
It used to not mean anything
EAB
It used to not mean anything, but it really means nothing now
EAE
Nothing means anything anymore
EAE
Everything is less than zero
EC#m
And I know it won't do much good
EC#m
Getting drunk and sad and singing
AB
But I'm at the end of my rope
And I feel like swinging
(Verse:)
CACEmCACEmCACEmCACEmEBAbC#mE
It was an unflattering photograph
C#mAb
And people saw it all over town
ABE
Hanging up on the wall above the urinal
C#mE
Hear the man with the notepad say,
C#mAb
"Oh, they're funny, but they drink too much"
ABE
"Don't be surprised if they don't amount to nothing at all"
BA
We were talking about giving up
BA
We were talking about lying down
C#mBA
We were talking about tying off
BAbA
Wasn't it supposed to mean something now?
Am
(instrumental)
EC#mAEB
(Verse:)
C#mAE
Let them see you struggle and they're going to tear you apart
CAmE
You ain't never been no virgin, kid, you were f**ked from the start
EAEABA
They're all going to be laughing at you
EAEABA
They're all going to be laughing at you
You can't make it on merit, not on merit and merit alone
EAEAC#mAE
Dan McGee tried to tell me, "There ain't no more Rolling Stones"
EAEABA
They're all going to be laughing at you
EAEABA
They're all going to be laughing at you
(Outro:)
AEAEAEBBAEAEAEBBEAE
I've been called out, cuckolded, castrated, but I survived
EAE
I am covered in urine and excrement but I'm alive
C#mAE
And there's a white flag in my pocket never to be unfurled
CAmE
Though with their hands 'round my ankles, they bring me down for another swirl
BAE
And they tell me, "Take it easy buddy - it's not the end of the world"
EAEA
