Intro
A#
[Verse 1]
A#
Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight
A#
In a cheap hotel on the Missouri side
F A#
I had you out in my car in the parking lot
A#
Early next morning we were driving east
A#
Headed for the big city where I felt at least
F A#
We could enjoy the weather as long as we didn't talk
[Pre-Chorus]
G#
But I spoiled it by speaking my swirly head
F
And you rolled them eyes turned to me and said
[Chorus]
D#
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Gm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
F
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
F7 A#
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Post-Chorus]
A#
[Verse 2]
A#
Well we got to the city and you got a job
A#
Delivering the L.L.Bean catalogue
F A#
I was bored and restless, didn't know where to go
A#
Late one evening after I got up
A#
My guitar and I found our way into a club
F A#
I saw the queen of diamonds work that big dance floor
[Pre-Chorus]
G#
Well she looked at me but I couldn't go
F
That familiar face said, do you want to know
[Chorus]
D#
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Gm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
F
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
F7 A#
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Solo]
A#
[Bridge]
Gm A#
You gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glide
Gm F
No one's got respect for a man going over the side
F7
Well-llll
[Verse 3]
A#
Now you went back to the station to make sure I was gone
A#
That bus was on time you didn't have to wait long
F A#
I saw the bright lights of Nashville disappear behind me
A#
Well that Greyhound was cool under the summer heat
A#
I could still see your face from my window seat
F A#
I was so happy to see your crooked smile of relief
[Pre-Chorus]
G#
But after miles and miles of that highway has droned
F
I hear the last thing you said when we were all alone
[Chorus]
D#
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Gm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
F
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
F7 A#
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Outro]
D# A#
Too lazy to work,
D# A#
too nervous to steal
D# A#
Yo-do-lay-dee-hee
D# A
