Living The Dream

Verse 1
E                               A                  E
Time and time again Lord I'll be going through the motions 
     E                                          B7     A
As a means to an end but the ends don't seem to meet 
E                                  A               E
Walking around living the dream anytime I take the notion
E                            B7          E
Til the truth comes bubbling up so bittersweet 

Chorus
         A                          E
Ain't no point getting outta bed if you ain't living the dream 
          E                                                    B7
It's like making a big old pot of coffee when you ain't got no cream 
A
I don't need to change my strings 
           E                         A
'Cause the dirt don't hurt the way I sing 
        E                                 B7                     E
I don't have to do a Goddamn thing except sit around and wait to die 

B7  E

Verse 2
            E                           A                    E
Well I been waiting on an angel waitress to come and take my order 
E                               B7  B7/A B7/G B7/F#
Tell me all about the special today 
E                                     A                 E
Staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon couldn't be much bored'er 
E                                                B7                    E    E/F# E/G#
Hoping them circles on the paper don't call back telling me to start today 

Bridge
A                         E
That old man upstairs, he wears a crooked smile 
E                               B7 B7/F# B7
Staring down at the chaos he created 
     A                                E
Said son if you ain't having fun just wait a little while 
              E
Momma's gonna wash it all away 
               B7          E
And she thinks Mercy's overrated
