 A (and then the bass slides down from A to Ab to E and then F)
You  don't know
 You don't know  how hard  it's been
I  tried so hard  to be good but I just  can't win
 So I got no mother  now
 No one to slap  me on  the wrists
 With no one to be  good for
 I just can't resist
 (Bass Slide from the intro again)
 Well anyways
 Who's to say  whats right and wrong?
 I've sinned  to the preacher, livid  to the teacher
 So whose  side are you on?
Please  don't pray  for me
You'll  waste your breath
They  don't take Jerks  like me in heaven.

 (Bass Slide)
You  don't know
You  don't know  how far  I've gone
 There's been some shit  I've done that'd scare almost  anyone
Sure,  I made some enemies
Some  don't even know  who they  are just yet
 I'm sure on that fateful  day they won't forget
So  whats this all about?
 Some half-assed  cry for help
 It's just  another ditty
"Oh  what a  pity, the  boy can't help himself"
So  please don't cry  for me
You'll  waste your tears
You'd  think I'd of learned  something the past thirty years.
 You think I'd of learned something the past thirty  years.
