Verse 
         F#m 
How many times do I need to fix myself? 
Learn another trick from my better half 
    E 
She knows, she knows 
       F#m 
That I try to look at things in a different light 
and yet I don’t ever seem to do it right 
  E 
I know, I know 

       F#m 
That I drink too much and I eat too much 
B7 
everybody says I don’t sleep enough 
       F#m 
and yet I don’t ever get to see 
    B7              E 
the sunlight in the morning 
             F#m 
Right now, I don’t need the money 
It’s all in the game 
         B7 
And yes, I could have a job 
but it’s not the same 
    F#m 
And boy, I’m trying 
    B7                           E 
but nothing’s ever good enough

So come on, sweet Mary Jane 
Crawl into my head and relieve the pain 
   E                                 E7 
My cigarettes don’t taste as good as you

I’ll wake up with my pockets full of gold 


Verse 
              F#m 
I make up the rules as I move, as I do my thing

Surprise, surprise, what the evening brings, you know 
              F#m 
Education has never done the trick for me 
but I’ve got an A in toxicology 
                 F#m                 B7           E 
I’ve still got a million things that I could be tomorrow 

              F#m 
I know that I drink too much and I eat too much 
         B7 
and that everybody says I don’t sleep enough 
    F#m 
But why would I need to see 
    B7              E 
the sunlight in the morning? 
             F#m 
Right now, I don’t have the money 
but papa’s got a lot 
    B7 
and he don’t mind 
giving me some of what he’s got 
          F#m 
‘Cause he knows I’m trying 
      B7                         E 
but nothing’s ever good enough

Keeps on telling me that I, 
I could be anything

Tired of the uptight, 
               F# 
try to see the good side 
                  A 
‘stead of looking down 
                    E 
tryin’ to criticize me.

I’ll be riding shotgun

‘til I am living the dream with my baby
