Jimmes Song

Em G Em G Em G Am C Em G Jimmie takes his time as he washes his eyes Em G and then makes his bed up and then heads for the outside. Em G And it doesn't make a difference every once and a while Am C if you've got nothing to do but sit around and think about Em G how nothing he could do would ever feel good but he knows Em G you gotta get a job if you're looking to move on Em G Like everybody else but it's the same thing Am C Always the same dream keeping him from moving, saying Em G I don't want to do nothin but be in a rock band Em G I don't want to get a job, I don't want to be a man Em G I don't want to do nothin but be in a rock band Am I don't want to do nothing at all C I don't want to do nothing at all Em G But then the bills pour in and he fakes it like to swim, Em G but he still don't go anywhere. Em G Until he gets too deep, they got him swimming in his sleep Am C And then he needs to grab something to get some air. Em G And so he pulls a job down at the landfill, Em G and he don't mind the working outside looking out on the turnpike. Em G But the days fly by and the fire in his side tells him Am C he'll never be right until the day that he dies, saying Em G I don't want to do nothin but be in a rock band Em G I don't want to get a job, I don't wanto be a man Em G I don't want to do nothin but be in a rock band Am I don't want to do nothing at all C I don't want to do nothing at all Em G Em G Em G Am C D C All his words fall down through the cracks in between, D C and spread like sunlight down on the world underneath. D C But up here they fall to nowhere they're just a feeling he needs, Am as he drives through the weeds, C and through the swamps and through the trees, Em G As he's talking like he's holding a gun in his hand, Em G but there aint nobody there, it's just him waving his hands. Em G And then he drives on to his guy at the van to get his Am C cup of coffee with three sugars for two dollars. Em G Then back to work another day another hour, Em G he gets older by the minute but there's nobody around him Em G who can understand, looking at a young man feeling Am C like no one ever notices, they live the same day over and over Em G No, I don't want to do nothin but be in a rock band Em G I don't want to get a job, I don't wanto be a man Em G I don't want to do nothin but be in a rock band Am I don't want to do nothing at all C I don't want to do nothing at all
