I got an old blue shirt and [F] it suits me [C] just fine.
I like the way it feels so [F] I wear it all [C] the time.
I got an old guitar, [F] won't ever stay [C] in tune.
I like the way it sounds [G] in a dark and empty [C] room.
I got an old pair [F] of boots and they [C] fit just right.
Well, I can work all day [F] and I can dance [C] all night.
I got an old used car [F] and it runs just like [C] a top.
I get the feeling it [G] ain't ever [C] gonna stop.
Stuff that works, stuff that holds up,
the kind of stuff you [G]
don't hang on [C] the wall.
Stuff that's real, stuff you feel,
the kind of stuff you [G]
reach for when you fall.
[D]
I got a pretty good friend [F] who's seen me at [C] my worst.
He can't tell if [F] I'm a blessing [C] or a curse.
But he always [F] shows up when the chips are [C] down.
That's the kind of stuff [G] I like to be [C] around.
Stuff [F] that works, stuff that [C] holds up,
the kind of stuff [G] you don't hang [C] on the wall.
Stuff [F] that's real, stuff [C] you feel,
the kind of stuff [G] you reach for when [C] you fall.

I got a woman I love, [F] she's crazy and [C] paints like God.
She's got a playground sense [F] of justice, she [C] won't take odds.
I got a tattoo with her name right through my soul.
I think everything [G] she touches turns to gold.
Stuff that [F] works, stuff that holds up,
the kind of stuff you [D] don't hang on [C] the wall.
Stuff [F] that's real, stuff you [C] feel,
the kind of stuff [G] you reach [D] for when [C] you fall.
Stuff that [F] works, stuff [C] that holds up,
the kind of stuff you don't hang on [C] the wall.
Stuff that's real, stuff you feel,
the kind of stuff [G] you reach for [C] when you fall.
