Capo 2nd
You don't have to tell me that I'm stubborn
'cause I'm not and I know 'cause it runs in my family and skips every other generation
You don't have to save my soul or make me feel like I'm in control.
It's not worth the double scotch whiskey that you'd have to buy me.
You look like you're surprised. Like when will I get wise
But I'll just drive the same dead ends I've tried and I think I know why
There's no connection between what I want and what is good for me.
The truth I tell myself not to believe
Guitar Break -
Yeah I know I could have been somethin'
but I'm not and I know that it's somebody else's fault
Just like every other thing that's ever happened to me
Yeah I could have been like the king like someone who could really sing
Folks would line up round the corner just so they could come n' hear me
Oh There I go again. Them devils love their sin
Well they can't end what I do not begin. So I'm safe where I'm in.
There's no connection between what I want and what is good for me.
The truth I tell myself not to believe
There's no direction between where I am and where I'm supposed to be
The truth I tell myself not to believe
Guitar Break -
Don't think that I'm expecting you to stay
'Cause you won't and I know 'cause I've seen it a million times
It's this charming self-destructive disposition of mine
Yeah and all those happy endings are for fools
Who feel like they will never loose
Folks, who think there's a God out there that's gonna save them
I'll get this round my friend. And then we can start again
Just like we did when we were who we are. Have we come that far?
Chorus
There's no connection between what I want and what is good for me.
The truth I tell myself not to believe
There's no direction between where I am and where I'm supposed to be
The truth I tell myself not to believe
