They say ambition is an enemy of weakness.

And greatness is an enemy of fame.

When I pick up my guitar and I try to write a song
  C                G              C
I think of what my mentor used to say.
            F                 G                        C

Don't bother these nice people with your sad sack songs.

If you ask me I think they're just a waste of time.

Inspiration is the best friend of my sorrow
    C                               G
and sorrow is the best friend of my drink.

Well I want to look myself in the eye tomorrow
            C               G                 C

And can you please sit over there I don't want you crying in my beer.

          F                G                 C
There's a song that I keep trying to sing to no-one
         F                   G                 C
but I'm afraid that it's too short or it's too long.
       F              G                C     Am Em 
And to add to all the things that I'm afraid of,
      F           G              C
the devil stopped sending me his songs.
        C                                F
And the troubles in my heart need to get let out.
        C                            G             
And the troubles in my heart need to escape.
      C                                F
And I never liked writing poetry and I never liked doing pottery.
        C            G                C
And God knows that I never learned to paint.
         F            G            C
So every now and then, I'll sing a sad song
          F               G                       C      
'Cause it keeps my spirit light and my conscience clean.
       F                 G                        C      Em       Am
And if you don't care to hear I don't mind if you go out for some air.
           F                 G            C
'Cause I'm happy that you're happier than me.
    F                 G            C
I'm happy that you're happier than me.
    F                 G            C Em Am G F C 
I'm happy that you're happier than me.
