[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
