Time and time again Lord I keep going through the motions
E B slide down to A
A means to an end but the ends don't seem to meet
E A E
Walking around living the dream anytime I take the notion
E
Til the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweet
A E
Ain't no point getting outta bed if you aint living the dream
E B
It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream
A
I don't need to change my strings
E A
The dirt don't hurt the way I sing
E B E
I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die
E A E
Been waiting on an angel waitress to come and take my order
E B A
Tell me all about the special today
E A E
Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much boarder
E B
Hoping them circles don't call back telling me to start today
A E
That old man upstairs, he wears a crooked smile
E B
Staring down at the chaos he created
A E
Said son if you ain't having fun just wait a little while
E
Momma's gonna wash it all away
E B E
And she thinks Mercy's overrated
