Bastard Ben Folds
[Em]The old bastard left his ti[D]es and his su[G]it
[D]A brown [G]box,[D] mothballs and bowling [C]shoes
[Em]and his opi[G]nion so you'd neve[D]r have to c[Em]hoose
[D]Pretty soon[G], you'll be an [D]old ba[G]stard t[C]oo
[Am]You get smaller as the world g[G]ets b[C]ig
The m[G]ore you know you know you d[G]on't know [C]sh*t
"The [G]Whiz Man" will n[D]ever fit you [G]like "The [D]Whiz Kid" d[C]id
So w[G]hy you gotta a[D]ct like you [C]know when you d[G]on't k[C]now?
[Am] It's [C]OK if you d[G]on't know e[C]verything
So w[G]hy you gotta a[D]ct like you [C]know when you d[G]on't k[C]now?
[Am] It's [C]OK if you d[G]on't know e[C]verything
[Em]Close your eyes close your [D]ears young ma[G]n
[G]You've s[C]een and h[D]eard all an ol[G]d ma[C]n can
[Em]Spread the facts on the flo[D]or like a [G]fan
[G]throw aw[C]ay the on[D]es that make y[G]ou feel [C]bad
(Palm muted)
[G]Kids to[D]day gettin' o[G]ld too [D]fast
they can't w[G]ait to grow [D]up so they can [G]kiss some ass
T[G]hey get no[D]stalgic about the [G]last ten y[D]ears
be[G]fore the last ten [D]years have [C]passed
(Normal down strums)
So w[G]hy you gotta a[D]ct like you [C]know when you d[G]on't k[C]now?
[Am] It's [C]OK if you d[G]on't know e[C]verything
So w[G]hy you gotta a[D]ct like you [C]know when you d[G]on't k[C]now?
[Am] It's [C]OK if you d[G]on't know e[C]verything
[Em]Tears land on a ha[G]nd on the c[D]hest
[Em]The old b[G]astard had a pa[C]radigm a[G]rrest
[Am]He got smaller as the w[D]orld got [G]big
[Am]The more he knew he knew he did[C]n't know s[G]h*t
"[G]The Whiz Man" ne[D]ver fit him l[G]ike "The Whiz Kid" d[C]id
So w[G]hy you gotta a[D]ct like you [C]know when you d[G]on't k[C]now?
[Am] It's [C]OK if you d[G]on't know e[C]verything
So w[G]hy you gotta a[D]ct like you [C]know when you d[G]on't k[C]now?
[Am] It's [C]OK if you d[G]on't know e[C]verything
