[Intro] D C#m Bm C#m D C#m Bm D C#m Bm C#m D C#m E [Verse 1]
        D           C#m    Bm             C#m
Uh well, I touched down en route to my connection

D              C#m        Bm          A
  A man in the gift shop called me a fag

D        C#m     Bm          C#m
  I feel like my tucked-up erection

D           C#m          E     
  There's a pressure all over my head

D       C#m             Bm        C#m  
  And I know this is how I get paid, but

D           C#m           Bm  
  It's not really how I wanna get laid, so

D         C#m          Bm         C#m
  Hundred forty when I last got weighed

        D           C#m      Bm    C#m
And I'm gonna lose more by Saturday
[Chorus]
            Bm7
And they're playing your song on the radio station

C#m                  E
Mugging me off all across the nation

Bm7
If you don't eat then you'll never grow

   D                                E
I should've learned that quite a while ago

  Bm7
I know it gets hard sometimes

D                           E
Making out with people that you don't like

   Bm7
I know you don't feel alright

         D                E
But you look just fine to me
[Verse 2]
        D      C#m           Bm7         C#m
Well, I pissed myself on the Texan intersection

     D                          Bm7      A
With George spilling things all over his bag

       D            C#m          Bm7         C#m
And I took shit for being quiet during the election

D             C#m          E
Maybe that's fair, but I'm   a busy guy

 D     C#m           Bm7        C#m       
I get stoned and go where I get paid, but

D           C#m       Bm7        A     
  It's not really how babies get made, so

D             C#m             Bm7         C#m 
  I'll take a minute when I think I won't die

      D       C#m            C#m     A
from stopping, oh, I'm just a   busy  guy
[Chorus]
            Bm7
And they're playing your song on the radio station

C#m                  E
Mugging me off all across the nation

Bm7
If you don't shoot, then you'll never know

   D                                E
You should've learned that quite a while ago

  Bm7
I know it gets hard sometimes

D                           E
Taking out your shit on the ones you like

   Bm7
You know I didn't feel alright

         D                E
Until you spoke to me
[Bridge]
F#m G#m A E D   E                    F#m G#m A E D 
You,             I've been waiting for you

    E                       F#m G#m A E D 
My whole life, waiting for you

E                       F#m G#m A E D 
  I've been waiting for you
[Outro]
           D          C#m              Bm7        C#m
Well, I'm gonna get a gun but it's for my own protection

     D         C#m      Bm7          A
Or maybe I'll grab myself a fun knife
D C#m Bm7 C#m D C#m Bm7 E
