Easy, but not entirely correct way to play this song.
"Feet on ground, Heart in hand, facing forward, be yourself..."
--words to live by :)
Capo 1
 C   G   Am   Frepeat
I've got money in my pocket, 
I like the color of my hair.
I've got a friend who loves me, 
Got a house, I've got a car. 
I've got a good mother, 
and her voice is what keeps me here. 
Feet on ground, 
Heart in hand, 
Facing forward, 
Be yourself. 
I've never wanted anything. 
No I've, no I've, I've never wanted anything, 
so bad..(so bad). 
Cardboard masks of all the people I've been 
Thrown out, with all the rusted, tangled 
dented God Damned miseries!! 
You could say I'm hard to hold, 
But if you knew me you'd know, 
I've got a good father, 
And his strength is what makes me cry. 
Feet on ground, 
Heart in hand, 
Facing forward, 
Be yourself. 
I've never wanted anything, 
No I've, no I've, I've never 
wanted anything so bad..(so bad). 
I've got money in my pockets, 
I like the color of my hair. 
I've got a friend who loves me, 
Got a house, I've got a car. 
I've got a good mother, 
and her voice is what keeps me here. 
Feet on ground, 
Heart in hand, 
Facing forward,
Be yourself.
Heart in hand, 
Feet on ground, 
Facing forward, 
Be yourself. 
just be yourself. 
just be yourself. 
Feet on ground, 
Heart in hand, 
Feet on ground, 
Heart in hand....

I've got money in my pocket,

I like the color of my hair.

I've got a friend who loves me,

Got a house, I've got a car.

I've got a good mother,

and her voice is what keeps me here.

Feet on ground,

Heart in hand,

Facing forward,

Be yourself.

I've never wanted anything.

No I've, no I've, I've never wanted anything,

so bad..(so bad).

Cardboard masks of all the people I've been

Thrown out, with all the rusted, tangled

dented God Damned miseries!!

You could say I'm hard to hold,

But if you knew me you'd know,

I've got a good father,

And his strength is what makes me cry.

Feet on ground,

Facing forward,

Be yourself.

Feet on ground,

Facing forward,
