Too Lazy To Work Too Nervous To Steal

A


[Verse 1]
       A
Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight
     A
In a cheap hotel on the Missouri side
          E                                A
I had you   out in my car in the parking lot
A
Early next morning we were driving east
       A
Headed for the big city where I felt at least
         E                                          A
We could   enjoy the weather as long as we didn't talk


[Pre-Chorus]
      G
But I spoiled it by speaking my swirly head
        E
And you rolled them eyes turned to me and said


[Chorus]
             D
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
   F#m
It ain't the whole world looking at you
E
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
                  E7                   A
Too lazy to work,    too nervous to steal


[Post-Chorus]
A


[Verse 2]
        A
Well we got to the city and you got a job
  A
Delivering the L.L.Bean catalogue
      E                                           A
I was   bored and restless, didn't know where to go
A
Late one evening after I got up
      A
My guitar and I found our way into a club
          E                                           A
I saw the   queen of diamonds work that big dance floor


[Pre-Chorus]
       G
Well she looked at me but I couldn't go
       E
That familiar face said, do you want to know


[Chorus]
             D
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
   F#m
It ain't the whole world looking at you
E
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
                  E7                   A
Too lazy to work,    too nervous to steal


[Solo]
A


[Bridge]
            F#m                                A
You gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glide
F#m                                           E
No one's got respect for a man going over the side
       E7
Well-llll


[Verse 3]
        A
Now you went back to the station to make sure I was gone
     A
That bus was on time you didn't have to wait long
          E                                           A
I saw the   bright lights of Nashville disappear behind me
          A
Well that Greyhound was cool under the summer heat
        A
I could still see your face from my window seat
      E                                            A
I was   so happy to see your crooked smile of relief


[Pre-Chorus]
          G
But after miles and miles of that highway has droned
           E
I hear the last thing you said when we were all alone


[Chorus]
             D
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
   F#m
It ain't the whole world looking at you
E
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
                  E7                   A
Too lazy to work,    too nervous to steal


[Outro]
D       A
   Too lazy to work,
D     A
  too nervous to steal
D  A
     Yo-do-lay-dee-hee
D  A
