VERSE 
Am      G       D 
  Almost cut my hair 
Am  G             D 
      It happened just the other day 
Am  G               D 
     It was gettin' kind of long 
Am        G               D 
  I coulda said it was in my way 



      C           Em      Am 
But I didn't and I wonder why 
           Fmaj7                  Em7

VERSE 
Am                    G            D 
 Must be because I had the flu for Christmas 
Am           G              D 
  And I'm not feeling up to par 
Am           G        D 
  It increases my paranoia 
Am                   G                          D 
  Like looking in my mirror and seeing a police car 



        C          Em            Am 
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear 
           Fmaj7                 Em7 
'Cause I've promised myself this year

I feel ... like I owe it to someone

VERSE (1/2) 
Am  G  D 
         When I finally get myself together 
Am  G                            D 
      I'm gonna get down in that sunny southern weather 



      C   Em         Am 
And I find a place inside to laugh 
Fmaj7              Em7 
 Separate the wheat from the chaff 
Dsus4 break D break         Am  G   D 
    I feel ...   like I owe it   ...      to someone, yeah
