Intro

[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
Bm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
A
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
A7 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
Bm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
A
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
A7 D
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Solo]

You gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glide
Bm A
No one's got respect for a man going over the side
A7
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
Bm
It ain't the whole world looking at you
A
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
A7 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
