Bm [Verse]
G              Gm                D                 Bm     E7
Throwing candy out to the crowd, dragging down the main

G                              Gm                 D                      Bm   E7
Helpless little thing with the dirty mouth who's always got something to say

G              Gm                  D                           Bm   E7
You're sitting around at home just waiting for your brother to call

G          Gm           G       A
I saw him down in the alley, having had enough of it all
Said you can [Chorus]
D                       Bm              G     A
Do what you want to whenever you want to

        D                    Bm                        G     Gm
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you
[Verse]
G            Gm                   D                    E7
All spit and spite, you're up all night and down every day

G                     Gm               D                   E7
A tired man with only hours to go just waiting to be taken away

G                Gm                D          Bm   E7
Getting into the back of a car for candy from some stranger

G             Gm           G                       A
Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger
[Chorus]
D                        Bm              G   A
Do what you want to whenever you want to

D                            Bm                         G   A
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you

        D                   Bm
You can do what you want to whenever you want to

D                   Bm
Do what you want to whenever you want to

G                   Gm
Do what you want to whenever you want to 

D                        E     G    Gm
though it doesn't mean a thing

              D  Bm D  Bm D
Big nothing
