Intro

[Verse 1]
F
Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight
F
In a cheap hotel on the Missouri side
C F
I had you out in my car in the parking lot
F
Early next morning we were driving east
F
Headed for the big city where I felt at least
C F
We could enjoy the weather as long as we didn't talk
[Pre-Chorus]
D#
But I spoiled it by speaking my swirly head
C
And you rolled them eyes turned to me and said
[Chorus]
A#
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Dm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
C
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
C7 F
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Post-Chorus]
F
[Verse 2]
F
Well we got to the city and you got a job
F
Delivering the L.L.Bean catalogue
C F
I was bored and restless, didn't know where to go
F
Late one evening after I got up
F
My guitar and I found our way into a club
C F
I saw the queen of diamonds work that big dance floor
[Pre-Chorus]
D#
Well she looked at me but I couldn't go
C
That familiar face said, do you want to know
[Chorus]
A#
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Dm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
C
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
C7 F
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal

You gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glide
Dm C
No one's got respect for a man going over the side
C7
Well-llll
[Verse 3]
F
Now you went back to the station to make sure I was gone
F
That bus was on time you didn't have to wait long
C F
I saw the bright lights of Nashville disappear behind me
F
Well that Greyhound was cool under the summer heat
F
I could still see your face from my window seat
C F
I was so happy to see your crooked smile of relief
[Pre-Chorus]
D#
But after miles and miles of that highway has droned
C
I hear the last thing you said when we were all alone
[Chorus]
A#
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Dm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
C
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
C7 F
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Outro]

Too lazy to work,
A# F
too nervous to steal
A# F
Yo-do-lay-dee-hee
