[EADGBE]003210
[C]It?s hard to be living
[Fmaj7]You gotta play the cards you were given
[Am]You think it?s simple, but it goddam isn?t
[G]It?s tougher now than breaking out of Shawshank prison
[C]And as you?re hittin your prime
[Fmaj7]People say you been committing a crime
[Am]But I won?t quit till I?m home
[G]I?ll chip the limestone a bit at a time
C slap mute
Wait! I?m a pale ass pale
[Fmaj7]Middle-class straight white male
[Am]I won?t have an alibi the day I fail
[G]Cause if I ever went to jail, Mom would pay my bail
[C]In a (boom-boom) heartbeat
[Fmaj7]Mom and Dad have given me a lot more than a p[Am]at on the back
[Am]And I gotta thank ?em for loving me
From the mom[G]ent I was strapped in a Volvo car seat
[C]When I needed a pep talk
[Fmaj7]I couldn?t remember to wreck shop
[Am]Writer?s block, staring at my laptop desktop
[G]Or sleeping in my rental in a turnpike rest stop
[C]Shi in storage, living from a suitcase
[Fmaj7]Thinking ?this is how a silver spoon tastes'
[Am]Cause you can make a dream possible
[G]But it?ll never be easy, no matter what you chase
[C]If you wanna poke fun then do so
[Fmaj7]I?ll do it for you, it?s no crime
[Am]I?m like if the dude from Juno
[G]Grew a Jewfro and liked to rhyme (OOoooooohhh!!!)
[C]So tell me that I?m not a rapper
[Fmaj7]Tell Rudolph he can?t pull sleighs
[Am]Tell pluto it?s not a planet
[G]And he?ll probably keep spinning in the same old way
[C]On and on, every day
[Fmaj7]Right around the sun, wanna feel the rays
[Am]You do it ?cause you love it like nothing else in the universe
[G]And f it, it?s embedded in your DNA
