[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I got _ [F] _ [C] _ a lot of homework, my homework, you can wait.
I never stop my homework till it's already [F] too [C] late.
My parents say, think [Cm] about [C] your future, and my teachers say the same.
But it's hard when there's a basketball [F] game [C] at the park.
It's 1998, and _ everybody's saying, _ Harry, you've got to be a good boy. _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ [C] _ _ _ It's Monday, bloody Monday, and there's two things I [F] forgot.
[Cm] [C] I forgot to do my homework, and I only got one answer.
I'm halfway through a test, but I just can't [F] concentrate.
[Cm] [C] While sitting next to Fontaine, I want to ask her on her date.
I really want to start a conversation, but it's time she was fast.
I start choking on my pencil and force that on my ass.
I need to concentrate, if I don't get this grade, then I might [Cm] fail to be a lawyer [F] someday.
[G] But just right now, I can't think of anything [Gb] better to [F] do than to sit down at the piano and a bloody stew.
[Eb] And maybe later, maybe later in the [E] afternoon, [F] I'll sit back and relax and think of all the things I'm [Eb] gonna do. _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ I'll buy an old car. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'll get that car started. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'll learn how to drive too. _ _ _ _ _
And then someday, I'll imagine all the things I could _ do. _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [F] That was [Cm] 1998 now.
_ It's been a quarter to present day now.
Cause some [F] things have changed. _
[G] Cause some things have changed. _
[C] And I'll do it again, [F] it's the [Cm] weekend [C] and it's sunny in the bar.
While staying here with my [Cm] beer and fish and [C] chips to the desk.
I just saw [F] Peter [Cm] Varsas, [C] who used to be in my club.
I always gave him [Cm] wedgies cause I thought he worked too hard.
He said, [F] Harry, [C] life is great.
I feel so happy these days.
I'm a litigation lawyer, so I gotta admit.
I'm [F] going [C] out with Fontaine, remember her from 10th grade.
I drive a [Cm] Porsche so I can't complain.
_ [G] And look at me, can't think of anything [F] better to sit down at the piano and a bloody stew.
[Eb] And maybe later, maybe later in the afternoon, [F] I'll sit back and relax and think of all the things I'm gonna do. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I'll buy an old car. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ [C] _ I'll [Cm] get that car to start. _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ I'll learn how to drive too.
_ _ _ [F] _ [Cm] [C] And then someday, I [Eb] might try all the things I'm gonna _ do.
