Intro
D#
[Verse 1]
D#
Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight
D#
In a cheap hotel on the Missouri side
A# D#
I had you out in my car in the parking lot
D#
Early next morning we were driving east
D#
Headed for the big city where I felt at least
A# D#
We could enjoy the weather as long as we didn't talk
[Pre-Chorus]
C#
But I spoiled it by speaking my swirly head
A#
And you rolled them eyes turned to me and said
[Chorus]
G#
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Cm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
A#
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
A#7 D#
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Post-Chorus]
D#
[Verse 2]
D#
Well we got to the city and you got a job
D#
Delivering the L.L.Bean catalogue
A# D#
I was bored and restless, didn't know where to go
D#
Late one evening after I got up
D#
My guitar and I found our way into a club
A# D#
I saw the queen of diamonds work that big dance floor
[Pre-Chorus]
C#
Well she looked at me but I couldn't go
A#
That familiar face said, do you want to know
[Chorus]
G#
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Cm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
A#
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
A#7 D#
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Solo]
D#
[Bridge]
Cm D#
You gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glide
Cm A#
No one's got respect for a man going over the side
A#7
Well-llll
[Verse 3]
D#
Now you went back to the station to make sure I was gone
D#
That bus was on time you didn't have to wait long
A# D#
I saw the bright lights of Nashville disappear behind me
D#
Well that Greyhound was cool under the summer heat
D#
I could still see your face from my window seat
A# D#
I was so happy to see your crooked smile of relief
[Pre-Chorus]
C#
But after miles and miles of that highway has droned
A#
I hear the last thing you said when we were all alone
[Chorus]
G#
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
Cm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
A#
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
A#7 D#
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Outro]
G# D#
Too lazy to work,
G# D#
too nervous to steal
G# D#
Yo-do-lay-dee-hee
G# A
