Intro:
 
Cadd9   Em7
 
 
Cadd9
I wake up tired and I wake up pissed
Em7
wonder how I ended up like this
A7sus4                                   Cadd9
I wonder why things happen like they do
                   Em7        A7sus4               Cadd9
but I don't wonder long cuz I got a show to do
 
 
Cadd9
I'm sick at my stomach from the A.Z.T.
Em7
Broke at my bank cuz that shit ain't free
A7sus4                                      Cadd9
but I'm here to stay (at least another week or two)
            Em7        A7sus4                  Cadd9
I can't die now cuz I got another show to do
 
 
Cadd9
Don't give me no pity don't give me no grief
Em7
Wait till I die for sympathy
A7sus4                                  Cadd9
Just help me with this amp and a guitar or two
            Em7       A7sus4                    Cadd9
I can't die now cuz I got another show to do
 
 
Cadd9
Don't give me no preachin' no self servin'
Em7                           A7sus4       Cadd9
I ain't no angel but nobody's deserving
                   Em7       A7sus4          Cadd9
I can dance on my own grave, Thank You!
                Em7       A7sus4                  Cadd9
but I can't die now cuz I got another show...
 
 
G
Some people keep saying I can't last long
       D
but I got my bands I got my songs,
Em7                           Cadd9
liquor, beer, and nicotine to help me along
        G                              D
and I'm drunk and stubborn as they come
      Em7                              Cadd9
chain smoking, guitar picking, til I'm gone
 
 
Cadd9                          Em7
I ain't got no political agenda
           A7sus4                         Cadd9
Ain't got no message for the youth of America
              Em7            A7sus4                     Cadd9
'cept "Wear a rubber and be careful who you screw"
                      Em7          A7sus4                  Cadd9
and come see me next Friday cuz I got another show...
 
 
G                                             D
Some people stop living long before they die
Em7                                    Cadd9
Work a dead end job just to scrape on by
          Em7             A7sus4                 Cadd9
but I keep living just to bend that note in two
                Em7       A7sus4               Cadd9
and I can't die now cuz I got another show...

Not that it matters much, but the A7sus4 would be minor if you do not want to make it sus4. Also important for soloing, harmonizing, etc.
