I'll  start this off with  out any word
Got  so high I  scratched till it blead
Love myself, Better than  you, I  know it's wrong  so what should I do?
The finest  day that  I ever had
Was  when I learned  to cry  on comand
 
 DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm  on a plain (oooooooooooooo)
I  can't complain (ooooooooooooooo)
I'm  on a Plain (ooooooooooooooo)
My brother  died every  night
It's safe  to say don't  quote me on that
The black  sheep got black  mailed again
He forgot  to put on  the zip code
 
 DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Some  where I have heard  this before
In  A dream my memories restored
In  defense I'm nuterd and spade
What  the hell am I trying to say?
 G four down strokes then pause with bass riff
Now  it's time  to make it unclear
To  write off  lines that don't  make sense
One more  special message  to go
Then I'm  done and I  can go home
 
 DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm  on a plain (ooooooooooooo)
 x5
 I can't complain (ooooooooooooooo)
I'm  on a plain (oooooooooooo)
MMMMMMMhmmmmmmmmmm-|
 I can't complain---|
 these 2 are played at the same time but the I can't complain is almost silent
MMMMMMhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 MMMMMMhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm
