Emaj7 B G#m

G#m F#He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.

Emaj7 BHe says his body's too old for working,

G#m F#His body's too young to look like his.

Emaj7 B G#m F#My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,

Emaj7 BI said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."

G#m F#So I quit school and that's what I did.

E G#m F# G#m E G#mAnd I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.
