Simple Living

Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm I'm like 9 minutes away from finishing my 9 hour shift Am And wishing I was gone 9 hours ago Dm Cause 9 hours wasted tossing back at this chicken Am I could have written 9 verses just in time for the show Dm Slacker mind state living on time that's borrowed Am My motto's "I'll stop procrastinating tomorrow" Dm I said the sorrow from the wind chimes left happiness Am Lonesome and strung sarcasm to make the melody wholesome Dm From my lungs to my feet I'm breathing everything I speak Am But now they're charging for oxygen and the bills are next week Dm I'll be a day late and a buck short story of my life Am I wish my pay rate was much more Dm Ducking swords in a rat race I didn't apply for running swords Am Something that's fake and thinking why for? They're shutting doors right in my face Dm And sit in high horses is car and a dope place Am Something to die for this is my war Dm So now I'm schemin' on plots to make my pockets swell Am Simple living is a bitch but damn, I do it well G Some are fortunate to make it and some of 'em fail F Some locomotives push through and some of 'em get the rail Dm Schemin' on plots hey Hey Hey Am Simple living is a bitch hey Hey Hey G Some are fortunate to make it hey Hey Hey F Some locomotives push through Dm I lead a crocodile mile lifestyle I run and slide Am But when it's time to collide with the bump I always bail Dm Cause I'm not ready for that time that silly 9 to 5 Am Solidified career option a hop skip and a leap Dm Away from a rock star Am And not too far away from filling my pops shoes Dm The idyllic hard working with callused hands Am Complete with wife, kids, dog, house, and picket fence Dm That's non sense, I'm conviced I'm built for better things Am And won't settle for the empty smile that cheddar brings Dm It seems like I'm working hard simply cos it's what they say that's what I have to do Am You graduate and then you either get a job or you go to school Dm 12 years wasn't enough? Dm That's more than half of my life spent trying to make the world accept me Am Plus I've fought the papers saying that I made it through G Dm Now I'm working two jobs, three with music and you don't respect me? F C F**k if I'll retire now you're 62 Dm So now I'm schemin' on plots to make my pockets swell Am Simple living is a bitch but damn, I do it well G Some are fortunate to make it and some of 'em fail F Some locomotives push through and some of 'em get the rail Dm Schemin' on plots hey Hey Hey Am Simple living is a bitch hey Hey Hey G Some are fortunate to make it hey Hey Hey F Some locomotives push through Dm Am Dm Am
