[Verse 1]
D A/D D
I just got a letter in the mail
A/C# Bm F#7
saying that I failed to pay my credit card on
Bm A D
time and that’s a $40 fine
 
A/D D
Which would’ve been okay
A/C# Bm F#7
except for that it caused me to exceed my
Bm A D
credit line and that’s another $40 fine
 
|(D) A/D | D A/D |
 
[Verse 2]
D A/D D
So then I get another piece of mail
A/C# Bm F#7
This one said the balance due was drawn
Bm
from my checking account which caused a
A D
bunch of checks to bounce
 
A/D D
Which would have been okay
A/C# Bm
except the fact that one of those checks
F#7 Bm A D
was to the DMV for my registration fee
 
(D) A/D D
 
[Middle]
D#dim Em B Em
So the next day I was on my way to work
B Em
I couldn’t find my car
B(b9) Em
It wasn’t where I parked it
E D
just the day before
 
[Verse 3]
A/D D
And then I got another piece of mail
A/C# Bm F#7
This one said the registration tags were out
Bm A D
of date so they towed my car away
 
A/D D
Which wasn’t quite okay
A/C# Bm F#7
I called them to explain and when I finally
Bm A D
got through they just made me wait on hold
 
| (D) A/D | D A/D |
 
[Verse 4]
D A/D D A/C#
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Bm F#7 Bm
After 40 minutes I hung up
A D
Because I had to go to work
 
A/D D A/C# Bm
But then I realized if I don’t have a car
F#7 Bm
then how the fuck am I gonna get to work
A D
So I got fired from my job
 
| (D) A/D | D A/D |
 
[Verse 5]
D A/D D
So here I am just living in a box
A/C# Bm F#7 Bm
underneath a bridge in this quiet little town
A D
and I take a look around
 
A/D D
Things are quite okay
A/C# Bm F#7 Bm
I don’t get any bills and the best part of it is
A D
That I can’t get any mail
