Strum
D-DU-UDU
Hold  up in a dressing room  without a dress
 Kneeling at the confessional  with nothing to confess
 And I knew  all about my surprised party
 I was spoiled  and depressed
 But I acted  surprise and I told  lots of lies
 Yes I  did my best
Stop  the truck  at the truck stop
 I need something  to help me crash
 Food stamp cheque and credit  cards
 But they only  accepted cash
 That was sweat  beating on my brow
 My heart  was beating out of my chest
 So I stole  everything they couldn't give  away
 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 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
