E                        A                        E 
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
