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