Em      C/G     G       D 
Don?t know the meaning of every position 
Don?t know the outcome of each decision I make 
Don?t even know the words of every song that I sing 
Em C/G G D 
       No no no 

Em      C/G     G       D 
And I smoke and I drink 
And I don?t work out but I think 
And I?m good enough for you to rest your head on 

Em C/G  G D 

Em              C/G             G       D 
And I sing my songs time after time 
And every time I sing them I?m glad to know they?re mine 
I?m not a bad person 
but I can do a whole lot better 
Em C/G  G         D                     Em      C/G G D 
      but I can do a whole lot better baby 

Em              C/G             G       D 
Time slips through my fingers like sand 
This is one of the roofs on which I cannot bend 
Try to figure out everything I don?t understand 
But it?s so exhausting it?s so exhausting 

Em      C/G     G       D 
And that?s why I smoke 
And that?s why I drink 
And I don?t work out but I think 

Em C/G  G DAm              D               G                       Em 
Don?t you understand that even paradise has it?s bitter moments 
And I already know that my life isn?t always about romance 
But I keep movin? on and groovin? 
And I keep holding on oh I keep growing Growing strong 

Em      C/G G D 
But excuse me while I smoke 
And excuse me while I drink 
Excuse me while I smoke 
Excuse me while I drink baby 
And excuse me while I smoke
