[Verse 1]
A E A D
I was a young boy that had big plans.
A E D E
Now I'm just another shitty old man.
A E A D
I don't have fun and I hate everything.
A E A
The world owes me, so fuck you.
A E A D
Glory days don't mean shit to me.
A E D E
I drank a six pack of apathy.
A E A D
Life's a bitch and so am I.
A E A
The world owes me, so fuck you.
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals.
F#m D A E
I had a young and optimistic point of view.
F#m D A E
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals.
F#m D A E
I had a young and optimistic point of view.
[Verse 2]
A E A D
I've decomposed, yet my gut's getting fat.
A E D E
Oh my God, I'm turning out like my dad.
A E A D
I'm always rude, I've got a bad attitude.
A E A
The world owes me, so fuck you.
A E A D
The wife's a nag and the kid's fucking up.
A E D E
I don't have sex 'cause I can't get it up.
A E A D
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch.
A E A
The world owes me, so fuck you.
[Chorus]
F#m D A E
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals.
F#m D A E
I had a young and optimistic point of view.
F#m D A E
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals.
F#m D A E
I had a young and optimistic point of view.
