G Em C D
sometimes i’m sure , most times less certain
Am G D
if anything’s behind the curtain
B7 C G Em
sometimes i wonder if it matters what it’s called
C D G
god or nothing else at all

riff
G – / 4 – 2 – 0

G Em C D
sometimes i’m clean , sing like a sparrow
Am G D
some days i’m nasty and i’m narrow
B7 C G Em
and i get spiteful , i get ugly , i get mean
C D G
can’t get back on the beam

riff
G – / 4 – 2

B7 C G Em

B7 C G Em
mmmm hmmm mmmm hmmm

G Em C D
some days the world’s prim as a show dog
Am G D
sometimes it’s filthy as a boss hog
B7 C G Em
and those days the phone feels like a three thousand pound weight
C D G
can’t lift it to my face

riff
G – / 4 – 2 – 0

G Em C D
some days it’s clear , so i can see it
Am G D
what to be and how to be it
B7 C G E7
some days i wonder
B7 C G E7
some days i doubt it
B7 C G Em
today i’m hopeful i can knock it off tonight
C D G
sleepwalking through my life
