I'm passing everything in sight

I'm a little overweight and my logbook's way behind

C                    D
Nothing bothers me tonight

Well, I could have a lotta women, but I'm not that kind of guy

              C                      D
Well, I could find me one to hold me tight

            G                         C
But I could never make believe it's alright

    G                        D                    G
