[Intro]

Eb    G                  Cm
Potpourri of uselessness
Cm       C              F
Sit with much dismay, I watch a summer go by
         Bb
With the boredom of watching paint dry

Eb       G               Cm                           Ab
Why this time? Gone away. Nothing good can ever stay
Ab                 F          Bb
Basic freedom, cigarettes and free pornography

Ab                 Gm             Eb
It always takes so much longer to find out what you want, and not to get it
Ab                 Eb                F
Of course I don't know the latter or how to do the first
Ab               B                 Eb
Once I analyze myself I'll end the hurt

[Verse 1]

Eb      G                    Cm
And the flame dies out again

Gotta answer to someone (else)
Ab                   F                  Bb
Now emotions and convictions rear their blistered calloused heads

    Eb       Cm            Gm    G
(I) worked myself too hard by not working at all
F                             Bb
Dear God, I'll get back at me once the summer leaves unfall

Ab                         Eb
I always have a chance but blow it just like I can spare it
Ab                     Fm
It can't pass me by anymore. Why am I sad?
Ab                  Bb
Out with the bogus, in with the rad

[Bridge]

Eb        Ab               F         Bb
I'm gonna change my world, I'm gonna have a blast
Eb        G              F         Ab
I'm gonna rock and roll, I'm gonna play it fast, and

[Verse 2]

                    Eb
So controlled by education
G                          F
Taught myself to think too much
G              Bb
Look back realized I'm not so...

                                                 F  Gb
Fucked up, ditched out, failed, won, who cares?          (Modulation, modulation)
B
Ate, drank, puked, shat, brushed, washed
              Ab
Dressed, say, hey, so what?
                                Eb                      Bb
I've got the rest of my life to do what they want me to do
B
Now I'll only have one set rule
Eb                               B
Don't let another summer pass me by
