Tough Guy Blues

VERSE 1
N.C.
I came hungry
Came to make me some money
Got my blues from the karate kid
And my roots from Bugs Bunny

F#m A E x2

N.C.
Well I burned out and got older
My spirit smoldered
Stuffed a sock in my pants
And tossed a chip on my shoulder

F#m A E x2

N.C.
Well I gave up thinking
And I took up drinking
To emanicipate my mind like
Abraham Lincoln

F#m A E x2

N.C.
Then I robbed and I ripped
Wagging my lips
Singing bibbidibobbidibibbidibib

F#m A E x2

CHORUS 1
[A]I got drunk and I smoked a lot of ciga[F#m]rettes
[A]I got a hangover but I never got rid of [F#m]it
My[D] heart got broke and my brain go[Bm]t bruised
[F#m]I still don't know [E]a thing about the tough g[F#m]uy blues

VERSE 2
N.C.
There was this little flirt
Popping out of her shirt
Smiling and laughing
Hanging on to each word
N.C.
So innocent and sweet
Rockin' to the beat
I tapped that keg
Like she tapped her little feet

CHORUS 2
[A]A girl half my age in love with [F#m]me
[A]I got busted at age thirty [F#m]three
My[D] heart got broke and my brain go[Bm]t bruised
But I [F#m]still don't know[E] a thing about the tough gu[F#m]y blues

BRIDGE
[Bm]So high so fast that's when I [F#m]crashed
[Bm]Down in the gutter tossed out of my[C#7] ass

VERSE 3
N.C.
Like a cartoon Saturday morning
I wave by still hovering
And splat on the ground
Know the true meaning of suffering

F#m A E x2

N.C.
I got a reason for the anger
Like a blind blues singer
I gouge out my eyes
And let a stray dog lick my finger

F#m A E x2

CHORUS 3
[A]I get sad sometimes act sui[F#m]cidal
[A]I look like Jesus but I've never read the [F#m]Bible
[D]My heart got broke and my brain got b[Bm]ruised
But I [F#m]still don't know [E]a thing about the tough gu[F#m]y blues
