If you can't/don't want to do the picking you can just play the chords and it'll sound alright.
[Intro] 
 E5   C#5   G#5   A5x2
[Verse]
Can you pass the hapE5piness plC#5ease? I need to G#5top off my drA5ink
I love the waE5y that you C#5are, I wanna kG#5now how you tA5hink
I feel at hE5ome in these notC#5es, I feel at G#5home when I sA5peak
I'm thinking E5all this shC#5it will never G#5catch up with A5me
[Chorus]
She said that tE5rash hangs with tC#5rash and I'm the wG#5orst of the woA5rst
With expectE5ations that fC#5ail, you know somebG#5ody gets hurtA5  
I am the scE5ratch on your C#5eye, I am the wG#5orst of my kiA5nd
I am the trE5ailer, the C#5park, the fG#5irst to lA5ie
N.C.
Shit
[Break]
 E5   C#5   G#5   A5x4
[Verse]
I think that tE5hings will get wC#5orse before they finG#5ally get worA5se
And with my hE5ead in my hC#5ands, I'm finally lG#5aid off of wA5ork
And with this cE5ollege deC#5gree, I guess I'll G#5do this for fA5ree
I'm thinking E5all of this C#5shit has finally cG#5aught up to A5me
I'd like to sE5ay that I'm wC#5rong, but hey, duG#5de, I'm always rA5ight
I'm condesE5cending to C#5you, you're condeG#5scending to lA5ife
You probably tE5hink that line's cC#5ool, you'll probably pG#5ost it onlA5ine
Just know that E5I don't like C#5you, so please just G#5don't waste your tA5ime
[Bridge]
And Wes is lookE5ing at C#5me while I am G#5playing this A5song
He's probably laE5ughing right C#5now just while I G#5break the fourth wA5all
Saying what'E5s up to you C#5all, just kiddG#5ing, I don't even cA5are
I hope you tE5urn this shit C#5off and you just G#5get yourself out tA5here
[Chorus]
She said that tE5rash hangs with tC#5rash and I'm the wG#5orst of the woA5rst
With expectE5ations that fC#5ail, you know somebG#5ody gets hurtA5  
I am the scE5ratch on your C#5eye, I am the wG#5orst of my kiA5nd
I am the trE5ailer, the C#5park, the fG#5irst to lA5ie

[Intro]

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

[Verse]

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

Can you pass the happiness please? I need to top off my drink

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I love the way that you are, I wanna know how you think

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I feel at home in these notes, I feel at home when I speak

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I'm thinking all this shit will never catch up with me

[Chorus]

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

She said that trash hangs with trash and I'm the worst of the worst

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

With expectations that fail, you know somebody gets hurt

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I am the scratch on your eye, I am the worst of my kind

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I am the trailer, the park, the first to lie

N.C.

Shit

[Break]

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

[Verse]

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I think that things will get worse before they finally get worse

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

And with my head in my hands, I'm finally laid off of work

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

And with this college degree, I guess I'll do this for free

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I'm thinking all of this shit has finally caught up to me

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I'd like to say that I'm wrong, but hey, dude, I'm always right

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I'm condescending to you, you're condescending to life

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

You probably think that line's cool, you'll probably post it online

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

Just know that I don't like you, so please just don't waste your time

[Bridge]

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

And Wes is looking at me while I am playing this song

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

He's probably laughing right now just while I break the fourth wall

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

Saying what's up to you all, just kidding, I don't even care

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I hope you turn this shit off and you just get yourself out there

[Chorus]

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

She said that trash hangs with trash and I'm the worst of the worst

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

With expectations that fail, you know somebody gets hurt

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I am the scratch on your eye, I am the worst of my kind

E5 C#5 G#5 A5

I am the trailer, the park, the first to lie
