I've got a regular problem 
       A                             E       B   E 
So my standard break from life is in order     
           E 
I'm having trouble making sentences 
    A                          E       B   E 
I'm older but I don't feel any smarter 
        A 
You see I don't know what I said to you 
    B 
And now you're pissed at you know who 
    E         A 
And I guess I deserve it 
               E                     B                E        B7 
I wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time  
         E 
I try to leave a good impression 
         A                             E            B  E 
But it's hard when my obsession's in a wine glass 
                E 
And when you're only 23 
         A                                 E         B  E 
It's not attractive to complain about your sore back 
          A                        
Yes I can bitch until my eyes are blue 
    B 
And you're in bed with someone new 
    E           A 
And I guess you deserve him 
             E                     B                E      B7 
Wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time 
A           B 
You say I'm fixable 
E               C#m 
A classic case, lack of will 
A 
I say I don't wanna try 
           B 
I'd rather stay here all night 
 
(E % | B) 
           E 
I've got a motivation problem 
      A                                   E       B  E 
So my standard break from life is getting longer 
      E 
Spent over 30 hours in this bed 
   A                            E          B  E 
In two days, I guess I could've phoned her 
             A 
But now that I'm awake 
                  B 
I'd rather take a drink 
                      
And walk down to the lake 
    E               A 
And beg the sky for lightning bolts 
        E                     B                E      B7 
I can't waste my time without wasting all your time 
A            B 
You say it's fixable 
  E             C#m 
A classic case, lack of will 
A              
I say I don't wanna try 
B 
I'd rather sit here all night 
 
(E %  B)
