A Pot In Which To Piss

	  		
Intro: 

E 
It was a pretty good GPA 
We got a couple of good grades 
       A              B 
And it sounded like a pretty good seven inch 

E 
And winter didn't feel so cold 
I had a smile for everyone I know 
      A                  B                              E 
I was starting to get comfortable in the place that I'm in 
      B                 A 
And it used to not mean anything 
   B                A 
It used to not mean anything 
   E                A                B 
It used to not mean anything, but it really means nothing now 

E             A           E 
Nothing means anything anymore 
E             A           E 
Everything is less than zero 
    E                       C#m 
And I know it won't do much good 
        E                 C#m 
Getting drunk and sad and singing 
               A                B 
But I'm at the end of my rope 
And I feel like swinging

It was an unflattering photograph 
    C#m                    Ab 
And people saw it all over town 
A                 B                 E 
Hanging up on the wall above the urinal 
         C#m                  E 
Hear the man with the notepad say, 
             C#m                       Ab 
"Oh, they're funny, but they drink too much" 
A                           B                          E 
"Don't be surprised if they don't amount to nothing at all" 
        B             A 
We were talking about giving up 
        B             A 
We were talking about lying down 
        C#m     B     A 
We were talking about tying off 
          B                          Ab     A 
Wasn't it supposed to mean something now?

I've been called out, cuckolded, castrated, but I survived 
     E                    A                  E 
I am covered in urine and excrement but I'm alive 
               C#m               A                  E 
And there's a white flag in my pocket never to be unfurled 
            C#m                                   A                     
           E 
Though with their hands 'round my ankles, they bring me down for another swirl 
                B                     A                         E
