D
Living in the city
G
Where I'm working like a walrus

But man I don't need your money

Man I'm gonna be an artist

Feeling like I wanna do
G
Whatever I feel inside
A
Put it down on paper
G
And I'll hope that people buy it
[Verso 4]
D
And my only minor worry
G
Is how to pay the rent
D
But that won't even matter
G
When I lose my apartment
A
Then I'll really have no worries
G
I'll be just like a cassette
A
That you've taped up the tabs up
G
To put something new on it
Em/G
And when I hit record
God only knows what I will be
A
And if there is no god
G
Then it's a better mystery

D G
Fighting for survival and I guess I must Be winning
D
And my story is so long
G
I can't remember the beginning
Em/G
Am I an optimist
Em/G
Or am I a pessimist
A
If I see a half empty half full cup
G
Is half full
A
Of nothingness.
