 -Easier way  w/o having to barre
 -Easier way
I  don't care what people  say
 It makes  no difference anyway
I  try my best to understand
 Why such  a failure would need  a hand
   -once  once
 I don't quite have a job per such
   -once  once
 I drink out loud I swear too much
 And my  girl says I sing  off key
 I think  she's getting bored  of me
 Because, everybody does
I  wish I knew how  to be somebody
 'Cause I  can't stand the thought  of being myself
 And you  may laugh, you  may smile
Humor  me for just a little  while
 Because,  everybody does
And  people say that I'm  not well
 I guess  that only time  will tell
I  fill my head with dirty  jokes
 To cheer  me up when I'm sad  and broke
   -once  once
 And my girl tries to make amends
   -once  once
 But I heard she's sleepin' with my friends
 She said  that she's got PMT
 I think  she's gettin' bored  of me
 Because, everybody does
I  wish I knew how  to be somebody
 'Cause I  can't stand the thought  of being myself
 And if  you've listened a little  bit
   -once
 You probably think that I'm full if sh*t
 Because,  everybody does
 Everybody does
  *  -once
 Everybody does
 Have fun and RATE:)
