[D]
Well, I could get [G] you any [A] compromise [D] in profession.
[G] [A] [D] They like to get [G] you [A] left smiling [D] in your face.
[G] [A] [D] Yeah, the things are so [G] cheap when they [A] got you in bad [D] condition.
[G] [A] [D] I think [G] it's a [A] total [D] disgrace.
[G] And [A] I [D] say, I'd buy a [G] saucy, [A] soy [D] olives.
[G] [A] [D] Well, I thought [Gm] it'd be [A] funny, I [D] went with him.
[G] [A] [D] But I ain't doing it since [G] I was a [A] young kid at that [D] time, I've learned that I [G] can't [A] [D] [G] [A] go [D] with him.
[G] [A] [D]
I called him a [G] preacher, I said, [A] give me a [D] string for a vampire.
[G] [A] [D] He said, you don't [G] need no [A] string, they need to [D] grow up some.
[G] [A] [D] I said, growing [G] up means you're [A] growing on a [D] plant that's dying.
[G] [A] [D] And to [G] me, don't [A] sound like all that much fun.
So I [D] say, I [G] thought it'd [A] be funny, I [D] went with him.
[G] [A] [D] And I [G] thought it'd be [A] funny, [D] I went with him.
[G] [A] [D] But I ain't doing it [G] since I was a [A] young kid at [D] that time, I've learned that [G] it's [A] [D] [G] [A] funny, [D] I went with [G] him.

But I ain't doing it since I was a young kid at that time, I've learned that [G] [A] [D] it's [G] funny, I [A] [D] went with him.
But I ain't doing it since [G] [A] I was a young [D] kid at that time, I've learned that [G] [D]
it's [G] funny, [A] I [D] went with him.
[G] [A] [D] I have been doing the same thing since I was a young kid and I come out to run and do it.
When I saw [G] the [D] people that I was with, [A] [D] I saw the people that I would be.
When I saw [G] [D] [G] [F] the [D] people that I was with, I saw the people that [D] I would be.
