[Intro]
Emaj7 E7 A Am
[Verse 1]
Emaj7
Stuck inside the basement and I’m freezin’ half to death,
A Amaj7 F#m Amaj7
And this dirty air I’m breathin’ is deprivin’ me my breath,
Emaj7
I know I’m gonna make it, if I just could see some light,
A Amaj7 F#m Amaj7
But now I just can’t take it ’cause outside it’s dark as night.
[Chorus 1]
C Bm
It’s just a situation, wrong or right,
C D#
But did I have to close the door so tight?
[Verse 2]
Emaj7
Ridin’ down the highway and it’s such a lovely scene,
A Amaj7 F#m Amaj7
But soon its dark and dirty ’cause I hear a cop’s siren,
Emaj7
I know he’ll pull me over and he’ll make me pay a fine,
A Amaj7 F#m Amaj7
But I’ll have to go to prison ’cause I haven’t got a dime.
[Chorus 2]
C Bm
It’s just a situation for the time,
C D#
Somethin’ to disturb my peaceful mind.
[Verse 3]
Emaj7
I’m at an old friend’s party and I’m sittin’ all alone,
A Amaj7 F#m Amaj7
But I wouldn’t be so lonely if I’d only go get stoned,
Emaj7
Friends they say I’m crazy and they put me on the spot,
A Amaj7 F#m Amaj7
By callin’ me a redneck just because I don’t smoke pot.
[Chorus 3]
C Bm
It’s just a situation that I’m in,
C D#
It’s all because my friends don’t understand.
[Outro]
