Verse 1
(D major) Here come the sidewalk boss again
Telling me how (A major) I can't cave in
That I'm (B minor) a study in black
(G major) Need a pat on (E major) the back
I look up and (E minor) smile
(G major) A picture of (D major) dissatisfaction
That he can (A major) only see as
a junkie
Though I might be straight as an arrow
He's busy shaking hands
with (B minor) my monkey
Busy shaking hands (G major) with my monkey
well (E major) I go in the car
Straight to the (G major) bar (A major)
Where my sweetie pours (B minor) the beer
For the millions of (G major) fans ignoring
the band (E major) s (G major) (A major)
He's in my ear
Wants me (B minor) to live in denial
Says you've (G major) (E major) (E minor) (G major) gotta
settle (A major) (D major) for something
Though it (A major) might not be really
(B minor) (G major) (E major) liv (G major) ing (D major)
Anything is better (A major) than nothing
Anything is bet (B minor) ter than nothing
Verse 2
No actor action man (G major) gonna
move in to (E major) take my (E minor) place
(G major) I'll (A major) be pumping out the pro (B minor) duct
Just a total waste

Verse 3
Look at (G major) your hands unoc (E major) cupied
(G major) Look at (A major) the lengths you'll
go to hide
You're under the (B minor) veil
Pretending to fail
Gotta whole lot (G major) of empty time (E major) left to go
Now (E minor) (G major) you've gotta fill (E minor) it with something
I (D major) know what you can do
(E minor) don't you know
Anything (D major) is better (A major) than
(E minor) (G major) (A major) (D major) nothing.
Verse 4
No (A major) actor action man gonna move
in to take my place
I'll be pumping out (B minor) the product
Just a total (G major) waste
Verse 5
(E major) I'm here with (G major) my (D major) (A major) cup
Afraid (B minor) to look up
This (G major) is (E major) how (G major) (A major) I spend my time
Lazy (B minor) ing around, head hanging down
(G major) Stuck in (E minor) side (G major) my imagination (A major)
Busy making something
(B minor) from nothing
Pictures of (G major) hope and depression
Anything (E major) (E minor) is better (G major) than nothing
Anything is better than nothing
Anything (E major) is bet (G major) ter than nothing
Any (E major) thing (G major) is better than nothing
