[Intro] G D G D G [Verse]
G
Well I worked hard and I got lots of money

G                                    D
Well I tried hard but I don't wanna stay

C                   D              Em                 C
I've seen too much trouble, I felt too much pressure bubble

C                   D            G
I knew there had to be a better way

G
I wouldn't hide if you thought I was worth it

G                             D
You'd smack me down when I misbehave

     C           D                 Em               C
But everybody knows that I've got flunkies here in tow

C                    D                 G
To clean up all the messes that I've made
[Chorus]
Em
I'm going over the cliff

C          D         G
I'm going over the cliff

         C               D           Em         C
And it's hard to tell if life is a burden or a gift

       C         D         G
Yeah I'm going over the cliff
[Instrumental] G D G D G [Verse]
G
Forgive me or forget me everybody

G                                       D
Well I guess I always had this honest streak

        C                D               Em                G
Yeah I'm sick of all the yawning, the bitching, and the bawling

    C               D              G
I'm sick of feeling powerless and weak

G
Please don't call me cool just call me "ASSHOLE!"

G                                D
'Cause I will be a beggar not a king

        C                D            EM               G
And the devil don't care if you're a fish or you're a stick

     C          D         G
Yeah I'm going over the cliff
[Chorus]
Em
I'm going over the cliff

C          D         G
I'm going over the cliff

         C               D           Em         C
And it's hard to tell if life is a burden or a gift

       C         D         G
Yeah I'm going over the cliff
[Solo] G D G D G [Verse]
G
Well in New York and L.A. they're sending faxes

G                                      D
So the company can wash its hands of this

       C                D              Em        G
Yeah there was no one there to look after me or care

     C            D        G
Well I'm going over the cliff
[Chorus]
Em
I'm going over the cliff

C          D         G
I'm going over the cliff

        C                D                  Em             G
Yeah success on someone else's terms don't mean a fucking thing

C           D        G
I'm going over the cliff

                C                D                  Em             G
That's right, success on someone else's terms don't mean a fucking thing

C          D         G
I'm going over the cliff

C          D         G
I'm going over the cliff

C          D         G
I'm going over the cliff
