Capo 1
 
[Intro]
Dm   F   C   G   (2x)
 
[Verse]
Dm          F
Wake up Jones
    C                            G
Stop sleeping on your mama's couch
                     Dm
Waiting for it to happen
          F             C              G
Get off home with your yellow finger tips
                                Dm
And belly full of whata could beens
         F                      C
Well I could do, but I'm happy doing nothing
G
This way the days get longer
 
[Chorus]
Bb       F
I'm not giving it away
   C                      Dm
You wouldn't have me any other way would you
Bb            F
I'm not deliberately lame
  C
It's just the way I am
         Dm
And you like anyway
Bb         F
I don't half do it wrong
  C                   Dm      Bb
When I do it wrong I do it right
N.C.
Some of us have it but some people don't
              Dm   F   C   G
Have the nerve
 
[Verse]
Dm               F
Well that's all fine
          C
But your big ass is growing
           G                     Dm
And your hairs got longer than mine
             F         C
It's about time you thought about somebody else
         G                Dm
And get yourself off the line
        F                C
But I hear you but I'd rather be a nothing
G
This way the days gets longer
 
[Chorus]
Bb       F
I'm not giving it away
   C                      Dm
You wouldn't have me any other way would you
Bb            F
I'm not deliberately lame
  C
It's just the way I am
         Dm
And you like anyway
Bb         F
I don't half do it wrong
  C                   Dm      Bb
When I do it wrong I do it right
N.C.
Some of us have it but some people don't
Have the nerve
 
[Instrumental]
Dm   F   C   G   (3x)
 
[Verse]
Dm       F
Get out Jones
      C                              G               Dm
I've had enough of your good for nothing hanging around
        F
Yeah I hear you
         C
But I'd rather be a nothing
 G
This way the days get longer
 
[Chorus]
Bb       F
I'm not giving it away
   C                      Dm
You wouldn't have me any other way would you
Bb            F
I'm not deliberately lame
  C
It's just the way I am
         Dm
And you like anyway
Bb         F
I don't half do it wrong
  C                   Dm      Bb
When I do it wrong I do it right
N.C.
Some of us have it but some people don't
Have the nerve
