E5 A5 F#5 A5

[Verse 1]

E5 A5 F#5 A5

Hark now hear a man is calling

E5 A5 F#5 A5

Looking for a story line

E5 A5 F#5 A5

Go along just for the effort

E5 A5 F#5 A5

I went along just for a good time

E5 A5 F#5 A5

It doesn't look like it would kill you

E5 A5 F#5 A5

But it doesn't really thrill you

E5 A5 F#5 A5

It looked candid

E5 A5 F#5 A5

But he planned it

[Verse 2]

E5 A5 F#5 A5

I'm the shortest line to the upper crust

E5 A5 F#5 A5

I'm the only lying one to trust

E5 A5 F#5 A5

What's the message for the wreckers

E5 A5 F#5 A5

Please?

E5 A5 F#5 A5

It doesn't seem like it will make you

E5 A5 F#5 A5

That much closer to a breakthrough

E5 A5 F#5 A5

It is splendid

E5 A5 F#5 A5

It’s opportunity misrepresented

[Chorus 1]

A A A F#m

And you with the flashlight

A A A F#m

Under your chin

A A A F#m C# A

You may wear the pants but I

N.C.

It didn't look like he would bend it

E5 A5 F#5 A5

When I decided to lend it

E5 A5 F#5 A5

Out, was it candid?

E5 A5 F#5 A5

Did he-- plan it?

[Chorus 2]
