Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

A (and then the bass slides down from A to Ab to E and then F#)

You don't know

 You don't know how hard it's been

I tried so hard to be good but I just can't win

So I got no mother now

 No one to slap me on the wrists

 With no one to be good for

 I just can't resist

(Bass Slide from the intro again)

Well anyways

 Who's to say whats right and wrong?

 I've sinned to the preacher, livid to the teacher

 So whose side are you on?

Please don't pray for me

You'll waste your breath

They don't take Jerks like me in heaven.

(Bass Slide)

Play some chords in the key of A here

End on:

(Bass Slide)

You don't know

You don't know how far I've gone

 There's been some shit I've done that'd scare almost anyone

Sure, I made some enemies

Some don't even know who they are just yet

 I'm sure on that fateful day they won't forget

So whats this all about?

 Some half-assed cry for help

 It's just another ditty

"Oh what a pity, the boy can't help himself"

So please don't cry for me

You'll waste your tears

You'd think I'd of learned something the past thirty years.
