AD/Alone as always
There's Gmaj7so many lucky pennies
LBm/F#ying on the floor
But where the Emadd9hell are all the lucky people
I can't Asus4see them anyAmore
[Verse 1]
AnDd there's such a nasty Dmaj7/C#smell
In the batD6/Bhroom
The peD/Aople float by
While the toGmaj7ilets are flushing
And there's Bm/F#all this shit written on the bathroom waEmadd9ll
With a leaky pen
And Asus4Lisa loves Jason
Oh, JaAson loves Ben
[Verse 2]

        And a letter from Michigan
Is sBm7/Aitting on my desk
And I rGmaj7emember one thought
But I fEm/F#orget all the Edim/A#rest
And the Bmice cream is melted
And dBm/Aripping down my neck
And my Gmaj7bottles standing on the eBm/F#dge of the table
And I tEmhink it's in the mood to brDeaDmaj7/C#k
Me, just D6/BbreaD/Ak

Nobody really cares
I D6/Bwish I could just have some D/Atime
To play with my old teddy bear
And mGmaj7aybe I could go
To tBm/F#eddy bear heaven
JuEmadd9st like her
Because well, she Asus4went when she was eleAven
[Verse 4]
DBut I stayed late
Because I can't uDmaj7/C#nderstand physics
I D6/Bdon't want to go home
And cD/Aook myself dinner
Or loGmaj7ok in the mirror
That bBm/F#ig, fat mirror
That swalEmadd9lows me up in a corridor
Oh, just swalAsus4lows me whAole
