[Verse 1]
G D C G
When I woke up this mornin', things were lookin' bad
C G D C G
seemed like total silence was the only friend I had
D C G C G
a bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won
D C G C G
and it was twelve o'clock before I realized that I was havin' no fun
[Pre-Chorus]
D G C D G
Ah, but fortunately... I have the key to escape reality
[Chorus] (Change to 3/4 time, and slow down to 130 bpm)
C G
and you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
D G
it don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
C G
won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
D C G C G C G C
no I was just tryin' to have me some fun
[Instrumental] (Change back to 4/4 time, speed up to 160 bpm)

[Verse 2]
Last time I checked my bankroll, well it was gettin' thin
sometimes it seems like the bottom is the only place I've been
chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end
and all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen
[Pre-Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
just tryin' to get away from all the ears inside the walls
dreamed the police heard everything I thought... what then?
well I went to court and the judge's name was Hoffman
[Pre-Chorus]
(well done, hot-dog bun, my sister's a nun)
