[Bbm] That Jimmy Buffet [Eb] ringtone, don't fool [Ab] me.
[Bbm] And I can see [Eb] what's important to you [Ab] from the tan line on your wrist.
[Bb] You're looking around like you got someplace [Eb] to be.
[Fm] Same old [C] story every [Ab] day.
[Bb] Overworked and underpaid.
[Bbm] Time to cut off a big old piece [Eb] of mind.
