[Verse 1]
G
Throwing candy out to the crowd
C                 D
Dragging down the main
    G
The helpless little thing with the dirty mouth
      C                       F
Who's always got something to say
G
You're sitting around at home now
C                           D
Waiting for your brother to call
Dm        G
I saw him down at the alley
Fm                      G
Having had enough of it all


[Chorus]
             C                    Am                   Fm Dm Fm G
Said you can do what you want to whenever you want to
         C                           Am                 Fm Dm Fm G
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you


[Verse 2]
G                                 C
All spit and spite, you're up all night
               D
And down every day
G
A tired man with only hours to go
     C                   F
Just waiting to be taken away
G
Getting into the back of a car
    C               D
For candy from some stranger
Dm             G                  Fm
watching the parade with pinpoint eyes
          G
Full of smoldering anger


[Chorus]

        C                    Am                   Fm Dm Fm G
You can do what you want to whenever you want to
        C                    Am                   Fm Dm Fm G
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you
            C                     Am
Now you can do what you want to whenever you want to
C                      Am
Do what you want to whenever you want to
G                     E
Do what you want to whenever you want to
Am                        D
Though it doesn't mean a thing
F          Fm
Big nothing
