Intro
G# C# F# G# x4
[Verse 1]
C#
Late one day as you're sitting awake
D# G#
How do you sleep with those pills you take?
C#
Rub your eyes and miss your head
G#
All you have is meat and you're a vegetarian
C#
Put in your key and your car won't start
D# C#
Your wife just left you and she took the sports car
D# G#
All alone and it's one of those days
G#
Oh my god you found out your neighbor's gay
[Chorus]
C# D#
Better days that you had
G#
And you blame it on fate
C#
You've got a bitter feeling in the back of your head
D# G#
And concentration's asleep
C# D#
How do you do the things you do
G#
And go on living your life?
C#
You beat your kids all the time
D# G#
And you constantly yell at your wife
[Instrumental]
G# C# F# G# x2

[Verse 2]
G#
You're at work and you lost your check
C#
And the only secretary has lost her head
D#
More ideas wasted over the months
G#
Now a fire's consumed your home
G#
It's all right, you've got your pride
G#
But if I were you I would rather die
G#
It's all right, you've got your work
G#
But if I were you I'd start going to church
[Chorus]
C# D#
Better days that you had
G#
And you blame it on fate
C#
You've got a bitter feeling in the back of your head
D# G#
And concentration's asleep
C# D#
How do you do the things you do
G#
And go on living your life?
C#
You beat your kids all the time
D# G#
And you constantly yell at your wife
[Outro]
