You know just the other morning I was hangin' around in my house 
C                                           F                           C     F C 
I had the new book with pictures of Madonna naked and I was checkin' it out 
G 	     		         F 
Just then a friend of mine came thru the door 
G                                F 
Said she'd never pegged me for a scumbag before 
G                      F 
Said I don't wanna see you no more 
      C                G 
And I still don't know why 

               C             F 
I think I'm an alright guy 
               C             F 
I think I'm an alright guy 
       G 
Well I just wanna live until I've gotta die 
  F 
I know I ain't perfect but God knows I try 
  C                    F 
I think I'm an alright guy 
 	        C     F C 
I think I'm alright 
 
 
 
Well, maybe I'm dirty, maybe I smoke a lot of dope 
But it ain't like I'm going on TV and tearing up pictures of the Pope 
I know I get wild and I know I get drunk 
Well, it ain't like I've got a bunch of bodies in my trunk 
My old man used to call me a fucked up punk 
And I still don't know why 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Just the other night these cops pulled me over outside the bar 
They turned on their lights, they ordered me out my car 
Man, I was only kiddin' when I called 'em a couple of dicks 
But still they made me do the stupid human tricks 
I'm stuck in this jail with a bunch of fuckin' hicks 
And I still don't know why 
 
Chorus
