[Verse 1]
B
Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight
B
In a cheap hotel on the Missouri side
F# B
I had you out in my car in the parking lot
B
Early next morning we were driving east
B
Headed for the big city where I felt at least
F# B
We could enjoy the weather as long as we didn't talk
[Pre-Chorus]
A
But I spoiled it by speaking my swirly head
F#
And you rolled them eyes turned to me and said
[Chorus]
E
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
G#m
It ain't the whole world looking at you
F#
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
F#7 B
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Post-Chorus]
B
[Verse 2]
B
Well we got to the city and you got a job
B
Delivering the L.L.Bean catalogue
F# B
I was bored and restless, didn't know where to go
B
Late one evening after I got up
B
My guitar and I found our way into a club
F# B
I saw the queen of diamonds work that big dance floor
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Well she looked at me but I couldn't go
F#
That familiar face said, do you want to know
[Chorus]

There's only one thing you got wrong with you

Why don't you find yourself a life that's real

Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal

Well-llll
[Verse 3]
B
Now you went back to the station to make sure I was gone
B
That bus was on time you didn't have to wait long
F# B
I saw the bright lights of Nashville disappear behind me
B
Well that Greyhound was cool under the summer heat
B
I could still see your face from my window seat
F# B
I was so happy to see your crooked smile of relief
[Pre-Chorus]
A
But after miles and miles of that highway has droned
F#
I hear the last thing you said when we were all alone
[Chorus]
E
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
G#m
It ain't the whole world looking at you
F#
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
F#7 B
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal

too nervous to steal
