Won't Be Pathetic Forever by The Wonder Years
Won't Be Pathetic Forever
C G F
I've been waking up up at twelve p.m., in my boxers in this dirty bed,
C G F
Eating Sour Patch Watermelons the boys murked the day before.
C G F
I'm watching bad reruns of mad TV, this shits not even close to funny,
C G F
But I don't work today 'til three and the remote is on the floor.
C G F C G
F
When are you coming over? Please, just say right now.
C G
We won't sleep our lives away,
F
And today(and today, and today.)
C
We'll make waves.
G F
In this lake of shit we've made, I refuse to sink.
C G
We cant live our lives this way;
F
Not today (or today, or today.)
C G F
If this sea of metaphoric bullshit stays, I won't sink.
C G F
The party starts at nine p.m. at which ever house is close and vacant,
C G F
We'll call the ten friends we've got left to pretend we've got a life.
C G F
The boys are slaying shitty brews, and I've been slaying orange juice.
C G F
You know we don't got shit to do, I guess we'll stay the night, fuck.
C G F
It's too cold out to ride my bike today.
C G F
It's been raining since we got home last week.
C G
We won't sleep our lives away,
F
And today(and today, and today.)
C
We'll make waves.
G F
In this lake of shit we've made, I refuse to sink.
C G
We cant live our lives this way;
F
Not today (or today, or today.)
C G F
If this sea of metaphoric bullshit stays, I won't sink.
C G
Some nights I love this town
F
But most nights I hate this.
C G
Some nights I love this town
F
But most nights I hate this.
C G F
Lately, I've been thinking about being a doctor or a teacher,
C G F
Lately, I've been thinking about being someone at all;
C G F
Lately, I've been thinking about being a doctor or a teacher,
C G
Just someone who changes something.
C G
Someone who changes something.
F
Someone who changes something.
C G
Someone who changes something.
F C
Anything.
Note: If you want to include a small "solo" I like these chords after the second verse
the bridge and outro.
C G Em F x2 (or however many you want.)
