[A] [D] Now don't be [G] doubting, don't be [D] assuming, all I ever [G] needed lay right through the [D] clinic
How does the sweat keep [G] coming out of my head?
It's [D] like a number two pencil [G] with a little extra lead
[A] It's been such a nice day, [G] I'm Mr.
Jackson Hill, don't sleep so far
[D] I've been up all night, I can tell you all [Gm] the news
[Cm] But they don't, they don't, they [D] don't do
[G] [D]
[G] So [D]
[G] my latest [D] dealer starts right at [G] my post
No, she's a [Am] dealer for the mean and for the [G] clean
When I'm forming on back down [A] three, but feeling so much better
We're headed in blue [G] and now that the week got a little structured too
[D] We got money, said, well, I don't [Gm] use
But they don't, they don't, they [D] don't
[G] [Am] [D]
[G] I [D]
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G] [D] [Am]
[G] [D] keep my ropes on [G] baby, and I keep my pawn on [D] baby
And I keep the stones on [G] slingy, I keep it swirly [Am] like
You got ribs on [G] me, you got me far away [Am] free
You got me halfway [G] right, yeah, you know where I [B] am in [A] life
But in these folding slacks, [G] you like being a donkey, ain't no great
[Am] Now don't get them and me [Gm] confused
But they don't, they don't, they don't [D] do
[G] Oh, oh, [D] oh, oh, [Am] oh, [D]
[G] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And [D] if we keep showing up, well, we'll be on a winning streak
Don't have to drive every day, they'll hook us up by the [A] week
Trust is such a bleeding and necessary [D] thing, I know
Living without it [G] and the [D] trouble it can bring
[A] Nothing else, honey, [G] but the very famous rock and roll
[Am] I got it, ain't one in one [C] flu
But they don't, they [Gm] don't, they don't [Am] do
[D]
[G] Oh, oh, [D] oh, oh, [G] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[D] I keep my ropes on [G] baby, and I keep my pawn on [Am] baby
And I keep the stones [D] on [G] slingy, I keep it swirly [Am] like
You've got a wrench on [G] me, you've got me far away [D] free
You've got me halfway [G] right, and you know that I am in line
