Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I've been waking  up up at twelve  p.m., in my boxers  in this dirty bed,
 Eating Sour  Patch Watermelons  the boys murked  the day before.
 I'm watching bad  reruns of mad  TV, this shits  not even close to funny,
 But I  don't work today  'til three and the remote  is on the floor.
 
When  are you coming over? Please, just say right now.
We  won't sleep our lives  away,
 And today(and  today, and today.)
 We'll make waves.
 In this lake of shit  we've made, I refuse  to sink.
 We cant  live our lives  this way;
 Not today  (or today, or today.)
 If this sea  of metaphoric bullshit  stays, I  won't sink.
 The party  starts at nine  p.m. at which  ever house is close and vacant,
 We'll call  the ten friends we've  got left to pretend  we've got a life.
 The boys  are slaying shitty  brews, and I've  been slaying orange juice.
 You know  we don't got shit  to do, I guess  we'll stay the night, fuck.
It's  too cold  out to ride  my bike today.
It's  been raining  since we  got home last week.
We  won't sleep our lives  away,
 And today(and  today, and today.)
 We'll make waves.
 In this lake of shit  we've made, I refuse  to sink.
 We cant  live our lives  this way;
 Not today  (or today, or today.)
 If this sea  of metaphoric bullshit  stays, I  won't sink.
Some  nights I love  this town
But  most nights I hate this.
Some  nights I love  this town
But  most nights I hate this.
Lately,  I've been thinking  about being a doctor  or a teacher,
Lately,  I've been thinking  about being someone  at all;
Lately,  I've been thinking  about being a doctor  or a teacher,
 Just someone  who changes something.
Someone  who changes something.
Someone  who changes something.
Someone  who changes something.
Anything.
 Note: If you want to include a small "solo" I like these chords after the second verse
 the bridge and outro.
 C G Em F x2 (or however many you want.)
