Intro:  D             G 




D                         G 
Fighting for survival is such a boring Battle 
        D 
Want to get into my car 
         G 
I wanna drive out to Seattle 
          A 
Where the used record stores 
      G 
Have much better prices 
       A 
But I don't have a car 
      G 
And I don't have a license 


         D                        G 
Should I take another walk to the DMV 
      D                             G 
Get another learners permit with a Picture of me 
    A 
I'd put it in my wallet 
  G 
Along with my four dollars 
          A 
And the condom that's still in there 
           G 
That has probably expired 
     Em/G 
I'd leave home for New York 

But New York is where I'm from 
          A 
I'm just looking for a way 
            G 
To feel my life has begun 


         D           G 
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee X3 
A 
Dee dee dee dee 
                 D 
Dee dee dee dee dee 





 
D 
Living in the city 
           G 
Where I'm working like a walrus 
        D 
But man I don't need your money 
        G 
Man I'm gonna be an artist 
         A 
Feeling like I wanna do 
    G 
Whatever I feel inside 
 A 
Put it down on paper 
          G 
And I'll hope that people buy it 

 
        D 
And my only minor worry 
   G 
Is how to pay the rent 
     D 
But that won't even matter 
        G 
When I lose my apartment 
           A 
Then I'll really have no worries 
         G 
I'll be just like a cassette 
      A 
That you've taped up the tabs up 
        G 
To put something new on it 
    Em/G 
And when I hit record 

God only knows what I will be 
    A 
And if there is no god 
             G 
Then it's a better mystery 

         D           G 
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee X3 
A 
Dee dee dee dee 
                 D 
Dee dee dee dee dee 


D                            G 
Fighting for survival and I guess I must Be winning 
        D 
And my story is so long 
           G 
I can't remember the beginning 
   Em/G 
Am I an optimist 
      Em/G 
Or am I a pessimist 
     A 
If I see a half empty half full cup 
         G 
Is half full 
             A 
Of nothingness. 


         D           G 
Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee X3 
A 
Dee dee dee dee 
                 D 
Dee dee dee dee dee
