E 
Well you know I over-intellectualize 

When really what I'm feelin's a lot of shit inside 
    A 
But Jesus it's hard to self-actualize 
                                             E 
When you can't stop thinkin' about going home 

You can't really ever go home like they say 

And if you do it's all messed up anyway 
                A 
And besides the shit they tried to tell you back there 
                                                   E 
Gets in your hair and messes up your head everyday 

Chorus: 
           G                                     A 
And that's why I'm here to tell you that there's nothin' left to lose 
G                             A 
Except for maybe all the expectations and the blues 
G                                     A 
And I've come to tell you that you've nothin' left to prove 
G                           A 
Most especially not to expectation and the blues 

     E 
Well who's got it right, and who thinks he's wrong? 

We movin' too fast, or are we takin' too long 
   A 
To find some common values that I can't seem to locate 
                                       E    
No matter where I end up for the week? 
        
It's a pretty tough call when all you can see 

Is numbing government when you look at the TV 
        A 
And the big business Satan 
                                                                         E 
And cops that would love to take your head off if they had half a chance 

Chorus: 
           G                                     A 
And that's why I'm here to tell you that there's nothin' left to lose 
G                             A 
Except for maybe all the expectations and the blues 
G                                     A 
And I've come to tell you that you've nothin' left to prove 
G                           A 
Most especially not to expectation and the blues 

   E 
My Mormon cousins think I'm nuts, but they're out of touch 

And today I got my finger on the pulse of the monster 
A  
Not the biblical stuff or the TV bullshit 
                                                    E 
But somethin' deep and real, global and truly ugly 

So as I walk out into the sunlight to face the music 

And leave the casino behind me in the dark 
             A 
I know in my heart the things we see around us in the world today are a mess 
                                      E 
But it's not all our fault, so hey... 

Chorus: 
           G                                     A 
And that's why I'm here to tell you that there's nothin' left to lose 
G                             A 
Except for maybe all the expectations and the blues 
G                                     A 
And I've come to tell you that you've nothin' left to prove 
G                           A 
Most especially not to expectation and the blues 
G (Pause)                             A 
And I've come to tell you that you've nothin' left to prove 
G                           A 
Most especially not to expectation and the blues
