[Verse 1]
G              Bm               C         G
Hold up in the dressing room without a dress
                    D               C
Kneeling at the confessional with nothing to
D
confess
       C
And I knew all about my surprised party
      G            Em
I was spoiled and depressed
         G                  Bm
And I acted surprise and I told lots of lies
  C          G
Yes I did my best
[Verse 2]
G                     Bm
Stop the truck at the truck stop
         C                   G
I need something to help me crash
                       D
Food stamps cheques and credit cards
         C             D
But they only accepted cash
         C
That was sweat beating on my brow
   G                           Em
My heart was beating out of my chest
     G                              Bm
So I stole everything they couldn't give away
   C            G
Yes I did my best
[Chorus]
G             D
And I did the best that I could do
     Bm                Am
With all the mess that I've been through
D                          C
What did you expect me to do
Bm Am               G
I did my best for you
[Interlude]
G Bm C G C G Em G Bm C
[Verse 3]
G                         Bm
I was waiting for a chain reaction
C              G
With a missing link
                 D
Waiting for that trickle down
   C                 D
Forever circling the sink
      C
I was tired of being tired
   G               Em
I could not get no rest
     G                     Bm
So I kept sleepwalking and talking in my sleep
  C          G
Yes I did my best
[Chorus]
G             D
And I did the best that I could do
     Bm                Am
With all the mess that I've been through
D                          C
What did you expect me to do
Bm Am               G
I did my best for you
[Outro]
C                 G
I did my best for you
C                 G
I did my best for you
