(C minoraj7) I fear (G/B) I'm dying from compli (A minor) cations

(C/B) Com pli (C minoraj7) cations due to things (G/B)

that I've left undone (A minor)

That (C/B) all my (C minoraj7) debts will be left unpaid (G/B)

Feel like a (A minor) cripple without a cane

I'm (C/B) like a (C minoraj7) jack of all trades (G/B)

Who's a master of none (A minor) (C/B)

(C minoraj7) father (G/B)

He's always looking on the (A minor) bright side

Say (C/B) in' things (C minoraj7) like

"Son, (G/B) life just ain't that hard" (A minor)

He (C/B) is the (C minoraj7) grand opti (G/B) mist

I am the (A minor) world's poor pessimist

You (C/B) give him (C minoraj7) burdensome times

And (G/B) he will escape un (A minor) scarred (C/B)

(C minoraj7) I used to (G/B) be quite re (A minor) silient

Gain (C/B) no (C minoraj7) strength from counting the (G/B) beads

on a rosa (A minor) ry

And (C/B) now the (C minoraj7) wound has begun to (G/B) turn

Another (A minor) lesson that has gone unlearned

But (C/B) this is (C minoraj7) not a cry for (G/B) pity

or for sympa (A minor) thy (C/B)

(G major) I guess I take after my (A minor) mother
