 Wiped out down the stairs

That I can do anything

[Chorus]

I will never do anything

  Life passed me by, but it's not my fault

  I'll lick my wounds, could you pass the salt?

Gm7/C
Awwwwwww, If I were the king

All my subjects they would dance and sing They could kiss my ring

            G   G/B   C2
And kiss my ass

G         D/F#     Em   Cadd9
 When I'm old and grey

G          D/F#       Em          Cadd9
 I'll look back on my life and say

G         D/F#     Em
 "Give me one more day,

               Cadd9
And I'll still never do anything."

[Chorus] (x4) I can be that but soon you'll see that I will never do anything [End on G]
