Intro
G
[Verse 1]
G
Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight
G
In a cheap hotel on the Missouri side
D G
I had you out in my car in the parking lot
G
Early next morning we were driving east
G
Headed for the big city where I felt at least
D G
We could enjoy the weather as long as we didn't talk
[Pre-Chorus]
F
But I spoiled it by speaking my swirly head
D
And you rolled them eyes turned to me and said
[Chorus]
C
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Em
It ain't the whole world looking at you
D
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
D7 G
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Post-Chorus]
G
[Verse 2]
G
Well we got to the city and you got a job
G
Delivering the L.L.Bean catalogue
D G
I was bored and restless, didn't know where to go
G
Late one evening after I got up
G
My guitar and I found our way into a club
D G
I saw the queen of diamonds work that big dance floor
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Well she looked at me but I couldn't go
D
That familiar face said, do you want to know
[Chorus]
C
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Em
It ain't the whole world looking at you
D
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
D7 G
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Solo]

[Bridge]
Em G
You gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glide
Em D
No one's got respect for a man going over the side
D7
Well-llll
[Verse 3]
G
Now you went back to the station to make sure I was gone
G
That bus was on time you didn't have to wait long
D G
I saw the bright lights of Nashville disappear behind me
G
Well that Greyhound was cool under the summer heat
G
I could still see your face from my window seat
D G
I was so happy to see your crooked smile of relief
[Pre-Chorus]
F
But after miles and miles of that highway has droned
D
I hear the last thing you said when we were all alone
[Chorus]
C
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Em
It ain't the whole world looking at you
D
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
D7 G
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Outro]
C G
Too lazy to work,
C G
too nervous to steal

Yo-do-lay-dee-hee
