A Pot In Which To Piss

E
It was a pretty good GPA
We got a couple of good grades
       A              B
And it sounded like a pretty good seven inch

E
And winter didn't feel so cold
I had a smile for everyone I know
      A                  B                              E
I was starting to get comfortable in the place that I'm in
      B                 A
And it used to not mean anything
   B                A
It used to not mean anything
   E                A                B
It used to not mean anything, but it really means nothing now

E             A           E
Nothing means anything anymore
E             A           E
Everything is less than zero
    E                       C#m
And I know it won't do much good
        E                 C#m
Getting drunk and sad and singing
               A                B
But I'm at the end of my rope
And I feel like swinging

It was an unflattering photograph
    C#m                    Ab
And people saw it all over town
A                 B                 E
Hanging up on the wall above the urinal
         C#m                  E
Hear the man with the notepad say,
             C#m                       Ab
"Oh, they're funny, but they drink too much"
A                           B                          E
"Don't be surprised if they don't amount to nothing at all"
        B             A
We were talking about giving up
        B             A
We were talking about lying down
        C#m     B     A
We were talking about tying off
          B                          Ab     A
Wasn't it supposed to mean something now?

I've been called out, cuckolded, castrated, but I survived
     E                    A                  E
I am covered in urine and excrement but I'm alive
               C#m               A                  E
And there's a white flag in my pocket never to be unfurled

Though with their hands 'round my ankles, they bring me down for another swirl

And they tell me, "Take it easy buddy - it's not the end of the world"
