D        A       Em      G                    Em     F#m  A 
I walked in on a plan to dissolve all of your wishes 
D     A                   Em            G             Em    F#m  A 
But I couldn't help your mouth which I missed by two inches 
D     A       Em      G                    Em          F#m  A 
Maybe I thought that you and I could run away alongside 
D        A       Em      G                        Em     F#m  A 
But I didn't understand I was a cold tear in your raw eye 

G         D      Em           A 
What's in it for someone with nothing to do? 
G         D      A 
What's in it for me? 
G         D      Em           A 
What's in it for someone with nothing to do? 
G         D      A 
What's in it for me? 

D        A       Em           G               Em        F#m  A 
I can read but I won't if I'm sleeping here without you 
D        A                 Em      G                    Em            F#m  A 
All these things that you learn, I've been knowing since my childhood 
D        A       Em      G                    Em           F#m  A 
You are tiny and your lips are like little pieces of bacon 
D        A       Em                  G                 Em      F#m  A 
I can feel you on fire because you're drunk and I seem too cool 

G         D      Em           A 
What's in it for someone with nothing to do? 
G         D      A 
What's in it for me? 
G         D      Em           A 
What's it in for someone with nothing to do? 
G         D      A 
What's it in for me? 

D        A       Em                  G                 Em      F#m  A 
You know I love it when you put your fingertips around my shoulders 
D        A       Em                  G                 Em      F#m  A 
Should I take you to more functions or would you rather be lonely? 
D        A       Em                  G                 Em      F#m  A 
I feel like I'm messing up too much and I forget where I am 
D        A       Em                  G                 Em      F#m  A 
You are so much wiser and I'm used to stretching things out so long 

G         D      Em           A 
What's in it for someone with nothing to do? 
G         D      A 
What's in it for me?

What's in it for me?
