[Gm] Man you [Dm] look like old man's eyes when I [C] saw you [F] in that room
And [Em] now [Am] you're on tour, [C] they booked you in the [Bm] asylum
[B]
[Gm] You worked so [Dm] hard [C] at [F] Bida Bafo
And [Em] now you ain't got [Am] no incentive [C] left, you popped your [Bm] own balloon
[B]
You [C] wanted to be [G] somebody, [F] but you ain't [G]
[C] nobody
[B]
You ain't got [C] nobody, [G] you're just a head, just [C] a part head
[G]
I
[Em] [A] heard one day and the shit got so hot
[D] Yeah, you're a chicken head and you're still alive
[A] I have some friends that's sweet, so don't deny
[D] Someday you're gonna get so messed up, you'll wake the hell out of your kid
And won't you be sorry, [A] part head
[Gm] You bragged to [Dm] all your friends [C] about the fun you had [F] last night
[Em] I wonder if you [Am] realized you [C] forgot to brush [Bm] your teeth
[B]
[Gm] [D] [C] And asking [F] for some money, [Em] you even [Am] tried to roll the [C] sacred pages and [Bm] you burnt your lip
[B]
[G] That lip it [Dm] has a trenchant [G] where [C] a [F] wild weed sits
[Em] Sucking [Am] like a parasite [C] of any sense you [Bm] might have left
[B]
[Gm] You say [Dm] that you are happy [C] and you like [F] stormy weather
[Em] Well I think that you're [Am] just dumb [C] and you don't know any [Bm] better
[B] You [Gm] play your [B] rock and roll guitar, [C] you say you're gonna be [F] a big star
[Em] But everybody [Am] in this neighborhood [C] knows [Bm] just who you are
[B] No [G] I ain't [Dm] trying to be hard, [C] I don't mean [F] to be cruel
I'm [Em] just trying to say it's a [A] little sad, you and the going [C] back to [Bm] school
[B] Or maybe it'll ease [C] the reality
[G] You're missing here,
[C] part head
You wanted to be [G] somebody, [F] but you [G] ain't [C] nobody
[B] You ain't got [C] nobody, [G] you're just a head
[C] [G]
