Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
D My telephone, it doesn't have a caGmera
D If it did I'd take a picture of myGself
D If it did I'd take a picture of the waGter
And the F#mman on the offramp
GHolding up the sign that's asking me for help D
[Verse 2]
D I got a job and I'll work here for the Gsummer
D I fold the towels and set them by the poGol
D Everyone looks happy with each oGther
'Til they F#mstep away and say the thing they really meGant
They always sound so cruel D
[Chorus 1]
A I didn't know what I was inG for
D When I signed up for that Grun
A There's no way I'm curing Gcancer
But I'll Emsweat it out
I feel Gso proud now for all the good I've Ddone
[Verse 3]
DI know a girl who owns a boutique in the ciGty
DSelling clothes to the fashionably laGte
DSays she cries at the news but doesn't reaGlly
Cause it'sF#m too much fun, there's too much time
And Gtoo much plastic money to be madeD
[Chorus 2]
A I didn't know what I was Gin for
D When they took my belt anGd strings
A They told me I'd gone Gcrazy
MyEm arms are strapped in a straight jacket
So I Gcouldn't save those TV refugDees
[Bridge]
When they're Bmon their backs
In a F#mbloody bath
Full of DSarin gas
On a scAreen
[Chorus]
Bm I didn't know what I was Gin for
D When I laid out in the Gsun
A We get burned for being hGonest
I've really Emnever done aGnything, for anyone D
[Verse 4]
D To fall asleep I need white noise to distGract me
D Otherwise I have to listen to me tGhink
AOtherwise I pace around, Emhold my breath, let it out
F#mSit on the couch and think about
GHow living's just a promise that I made
