Capo 2
Intro C G Am
[C]I fear I'm [G]dying from complicati[Am]ons
[C]Complications due to t[G]hings that I've left und[Am]one
That all my [C]debts will be left [G]unpaid
Feel like a [Am]cripple without a cane
I'm like a [C]jack of all trades[G]
Who's a master of [Am]none
C G Am X2
Then there's my f[C]ather
[G]He's always looking on the [Am]bright side
Saying [C]things like "[G]Son, life just ain't that [Am]hard."
He is the [C]grand opti[G]mist
I am the [Am]world's poor pessimist
You give him [C]burdensome times
And he w[G]ill escape uns[Am]carred
[G] [G] I guess I take after my m[Am]other [Am]x2
[C] I used to [G]be quite [Am]resilient
Gain no st[C]rength from counting the b[G]eads on a ros[Am]ary
Now the w[C]ound has begun to [G]turn
Another l[Am]esson that has gone unlearned
But this is n[C]ot a cry for p[G]ity or for sympat[Am]hy
[G] [G] I guess I take after my mot[Am]her [Am]x4
