Capo 3

D                               G                 D
Time and time again Lord I been going through the motions
       D                                          A   
It's a means to an end but the ends don't seem to meet
D                                  G               D
Walking around living the dream anytime I take the notion
        D
Til the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweet


         G                          D
Ain't no point getting outta bed if you aint living the dream
          D                                                    A
It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream
G                                       D                         G
I don't need to change my strings cause dirt don't hurt the way I sing
        D                            A                           D
I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die

     D                               G                D 
Been waiting on an angel waitress to come and take my order
D                               A
Tell me all about the special today
D                                      G                D 
Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much boreder
D                                   A                     D 
Hoping them circles don't call back telling me to start today

G                         D 
That old man upstairs, he wears a crooked smile
D                               A
Staring down at the chaos he created
     G                                D
Said son if you ain't having fun just wait a little while
D                                             A           D 
Momma's gonna wash it all away and she thinks Mercy's overrated


Solo 

         G                          D
Ain't no point getting outta bed if you aint living the dream
          D                                                    A
It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream
G                                       D                         G
I don't need to change my strings cause dirt don't hurt the way I sing
        D                            A                           D
I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die
