_ _ _ _ [N] _ We got a letter from the government the [G] other day, opened it and read it.
It said they were
[D] suckers.
They wanted me for the army or whatever.
A picture of me giving a damn.
I said never.
It was a land that never gave a damn about _ _ _ me.
[C] I wasn't with them but just that very
minute it [Dm] occurred to me that [Em] suckers had authority.
[E] Cold sweatin' as I dwelled in myself.
How long has it been since they got me sittin' in a safe [G] bin?
I bought a gavel that thought
was so evil.
I contemplated a plan on the south [E] floor.
I'm not a fugitive on the run.
But I'd rather love me than be another [G] one.
Well, the enemy's still been thrown.
They
do the line though.
They put a sign with a song.

_ _ [E] _ [Gm] I [Dm] got a letter from her government the other day
Opened and read it, it [E] said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or [A]
[E] whatever
Country, give it a [A] damn, I said [E] never
This is the line that never came
But I'm not about to make myself
Because I never did
I was a little bit of a jester
And it made it easier to me
They suckers had no quarantine
Coach, Shrek, and I, like, don't sell
How long you been keeping me from me sitting in a safe?
Then I got a cab, but that phone was cold before
I contemplated my path on this episode
I'm not [Em] the future, [Gm] so don't I
[E] I'm not _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the future, [Dm] so don't I
_ [Bm] I'm not the future, so [A] don't I
But I thought [Ab] I'd be big, I could be a [B] number one
