[Verse]
F                   Bb                               F      
Time and time again Lord I've been going through the motions
                                                C7  
As a means to an end but the ends don't seem to meet
F                                              Bb       F     
Walking around just living the dream anytime I take the notion
                                    C7          F
'til the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweet ■


[Chorus]
Bb                           F                                  
Ain't no point getting outta bed when you ain't living the dream
                                                               C     C7
It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream ■ 
  Bb                                              F                  Bb    
I don't need to change my strings 'cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing
     F                                                          
Oh I don't have to do a goddamn thing sit around and wait to die

[Verse]
                                         Bb               F    
Well I been waiting on an angel waitress come and take my order
                              C7   
Tell me all about the special today
F                                      Bb               F      
Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much boarder
                                    C                   F    
Hoping them circles don't call back telling me to start today
Bb                       F                    
That old man upstairs he wears a crooked smile
F                                   
Staring down on the chaos he created


[Chorus]
C  C7      Bb                               F                  
He ■  said Son if you ain't having fun just wait a little while
                                              C7      F        
Momma's gonna wash it all away and she thinks mercy's overrated

      Bb                         F                              
Ain't no point getting outta bed when you ain't living the dream
                                                            C       
It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream
Bb                                   F                                    Bb  
■  I don't need to change my strings 'cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing
           F                              C                  F  
Oh I don't have to do a goddamn thing sit around and wait to die
                                C7                               Eb C F
Oh I don't have to do a goddamn thing sit around and wait to die ■  ■ ■
