INTRO: G   C   G   D G   D G   D G   D G

                C
Don't be petty
         G
Don't be trite
                   C
I'm feeling pretty good now
            D
I'm doing alright
             Em
Memories are wrong
     C 
They never did play fair
                   G      C
If it's all in the past
    D          G           D  G
Why doesn't it stay there


INTERLUDE:   D Em   D   C   D   G
 

           C
I got old
                  G
I just didn't get wise
               C
Bred for the occasion
      D
But I__ didn't rise
             Em
I never gave up though
                  C
Like those other guys
                    G      C
I guess I never did learn
       D    G
How to com--promise


CHORUS:
        C           D                G
I'd pay extra for a homemade guarantee, hmm
          C        D               G
I need to learn to stay good company
            C             D         Em
Now there's no one else behind this door
        D       C    D       C    G  Am  D  G  
No warm feet on this January floor____


INTERLUDE:   D Em   G C   D   G C G


               C
Never give up
           G
Never give in
            C
Unpopular decisions
                D
Keep you lonely, keep you thin
                Em
Friends turn to strangers
               C
And strangers, friends
             G           C
But life can be so sweet
         D      G
'Til the bitter end


CHORUS:
        C           D                G
I'd pay extra for a homemade guarantee, hmm
          C        D               G
I need to learn to stay good company
            C             D         Em
Now there's no one else behind this door
        D       C    D       C    G  Am  D  G
