[Verse 1]
                 Ab
What you shoulda been
         Eb
What you woulda been
       Bb               Ab
But it ain't no problem now

              Ab
What's your middle name?
         Eb
Are you often blamed?
       Bb             Ab
Do you care about the cost?  

[Chorus 1]
  Ab       Eb 
Da-da-da, da-da-da  
   Bb       Ab 
Da-da-da, da-da-da  
  Ab      Eb     
Da-da-da, da
 Bb       Ab
Da-da-da

[Verse 2]
                   Ab 
Where's the middle again?
          Eb 
Can I get back there?
     Bb                Ab
Well, I won't let them talk

[Bridge 1]
                 Ab       
Well, it's at it again
       Eb  
And it heads to its home
       Bb       Ab 
Do, do, do, do, do, do

[Verse 3]
         Ab                Eb 
On the north end of redded woe
        Bb                Ab   
Well, I won't be ready to go
    Ab      Eb
Da-da-da, da-da-da
   Bb         N.C.
Da-da-da  

                Ab 
A little bit older now
                Eb 
Out in the wilderness
    Bb             Ab
With some valedictorian
          Ab             Eb  
You had wagered up your torch
              Bb        Ab
And then you lost your paraffin

          Ab               Eb 
Off the dead stump of the trees
          Bb               Ab
Oh, your head it split the crease
         Ab                 Eb                      
And the ghosts you may never know
         Bb            N.C.     
You will never mend

               Ab 
I will never end
        Eb 
And I went off then
         Bb       
To the meadowlands
            Ab          
Where your mama can't
Ab                            Eb
That's a boundary pass on it
Bb                      Ab
Ab                      Eb
Bb
What you woulda been
Ab
What you shoulda been died, woo

What's that supposed to be, it is over me

All before eleven-thirty

And by noon I'll be, I'll be

Eb            Bb            Eb             Ab 
I won't belabor points but I will hit you on the head

I won't belabor points but I will hit it on the head
Eb            Bb            Eb             Ab 
I won't belabor points but I will hit you on the head
