[Verse 1]
GThrowing candy out to the crowd
CDragging down the Dmain
The Ghelpless little thing with the dirty mouth
Who's Calways got something to Fsay
GYou're sitting around at home now
CWaiting for your brother to Dcall
DmI saw him Gdown at the alley
FmHaving had enough of it Gall
[Chorus]
Said you can Cdo what you want to wAmhenever you want to Fm Dm Fm G
You can dCo what you want to, there's Amno one to stop you Fm Dm Fm G
[Verse 2]
GAll spit and spite, you're up all Cnight
And down every Dday
GA tired man with only hours to go
Just Cwaiting to be taken Faway
GGetting into the back of a car
For Ccandy from some Dstranger
Dmwatching the paGrade with pinpoint Fmeyes
Full of smGoldering anger
[Chorus]
You can Cdo what you want to wAmhenever you want to Fm Dm Fm G
You can Cdo what you want to, Amthere's no one to stoFmp yDmou Fm G
Now you can Cdo what you want to whAmenever you want to
CDo what you want to wheAmnever you want to
GDo what you want to whEenever you want to
AmThough it doesn't mean a tDhing
FBig nothingFm
