[A] Always at the boot of the [Bm] photographs, that's me there, snug as a thug in [A] a mug shot post
of Al Margo, [Bm] owner of this corner, not much more.
[A] Still these days, I'm better today, [D] still get my just [E] reward.
I'll [A] find out at you, and very [E]
soon, I'll [D] have just too much to say, my [E] daddy's stupid man.
I [A] know I ought [D] to be learnin' [E] I feel like a veteran, [A] oh I [D] like your poetry [E] but I hate your [Bm] poem.
[A] [D] Powerless, crumble, [E] I'm need, deep in numbers, [A] turn [D] 21, [E] I'm pissed, I'm bust, I'm [Bm] wrong [A] again.

[A] Roof and shoulders with the sheets still too, [Bm] lookin' at my watch and I'm half-assed,
caring [A] in the lap of luxury it comes to me.
[Bm] Is this headboard, or am I a lot behind?
What's [A] a face do in a substance [D] room all by [E] myself?
It's [A] the kind of thing I never [E] contemplate, [D] lots of people would cry, you know [E] that's strange to mine.
I [A] know I ought [D] to be learnin' [E] I feel like a veteran, [A] oh I like your poetry [E] but I hate your [Bm] poem.
[A] [D] Powerless, crumble, [E] I'm need, deep in numbers, [A] turn [D] 21, I'm [E] pissed, I'm bust, [Bm] I'm wrong [D] again.
No one [G] is like the side after [D] the side of the first quarter [G] line,
ever [Em] stops to think [D] and find that nothing was there.
[G] [D] [G]
[Bm] [E] They laugh to [A] see such fun, I'm playin' blind [E]
man's bluff,
[Bm] all by [D] myself.
I'm [A] extending a line from a [E] nursery rhyme,
far far bleary [Bm] eyes, have you any [D] idea?
[A] [D] It's my plan [E] and I'm a feel veteran, [A] oh I [D] like your poetry [E] but I hate your [Bm] poems.
[A] [D] Powerless, crumble, I'm [E] need, deep in numbers, [A] turn 21, [E] I'm pissed, I'm bust, I'm [Bm] wrong [A] again.
[D] [E] Pissed, I'm bust, I'm wrong [A] again.
[D] [E] Pissed, I'm bust, I'm [Bm] wrong [A] again.
