B
While you're breakin' down my back n'
Db
I been rackin' out my brain
D
It don't matter how we make it
D, Db
'Cause it always ends the same
B
You can push it for more mileage
Db
But your flaps r' wearin' thin
D
And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
D, Db
But this nightmare never ends
B
Don't forget to call my lawyers
Db
With ridiculous demands
D
An you can take the pity so far
D, Db
But it's more than I can stand
B
'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
Db
Tell me how long has it been
D--
'Cause 5 years is forever
An you haven't grown up yet
You could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin'
And your cocaine tongue
You get nuthin' done
I said you could be mine
A B
You should be
A B F#
