Standard Tuning
Intro: Am Am
G F
I thought I'd start this simple song
C Am
with something you could sing along
G F C
like "Na na na na na na."
G F
But then I felt a bit cliche-
C Am
I started Beaten Path that way-
G F C
and besides, it didn't get me very far
G F
I guess the well is running dry.
C Am
(I'm not surprised)
G F C
It's been thirteen years of lies.
G F
Running at the mouth about
C Am
these lovers I can't live without,
G F C
well, I'm not exactly huntin' 'em down
G F C A G F C
G F
Down and out and overweight -
C Am
under the influence of three years straight
G F C
drinking on the job.
G F
If it's not some love affair
C Am
then it's a song about the great despair
G F C
of the loner at the end of the bar.
G
Well, you are what you are
F
You are what your are,
C
you are, you are,
Am
you do, you do -
G F C
"Na na na na na na"
G F
One-hundredth verse same as the first,
C Am
I'm a dictaphone of drunken slurs,
G F C
press rewind - it's a new album.
G F C Am G
"Hot off the press, and this guy sounds depressed
F C
(again)!"
G F
So, you can never drop this drunken bit
C Am
or the fits of pain you still stomach -
G F C
it's for the love of the song
G F C Am
Oh yeah, the song. Oh yeah, the song.
G F C
I thought it was... I thought it was supposed to be a... a sing along.
and so on...
