Intro
Eb    G                  Cm 
Potpourri of uselessness 
Cm       C              F 
Sit with much dismay, I watch a summer go by 
         Bb 
With the boredom of watching paint dry 
 
Eb       G               Cm                           Ab 
Why this time? Gone away. Nothing good can ever stay 
Ab                 F          Bb 
Basic freedom, cigarettes and free pornography 
 
Ab                 Gm             Eb 
It always takes so much longer to find out what you want, and not to get it 
Ab                 Eb                F 
Of course I don't know the latter or how to do the first 
Ab               B                 Eb 
Once I analyze myself I'll end the hurt 
 
Verse 1
Eb      G                    Cm 
And the flame dies out again 
 
Gotta answer to someone (else) 
Ab                   F                  Bb 
Now emotions and convictions rear their blistered calloused heads 
 
    Eb       Cm            Gm    G 
(I) worked myself too hard by not working at all 
F                             Bb 
Dear God, I'll get back at me once the summer leaves unfall 
 
Ab                         Eb 
I always have a chance but blow it just like I can spare it 
Ab                     Fm 
It can't pass me by anymore. Why am I sad? 
Ab                  Bb 
Out with the bogus, in with the rad 
 
Bridge
Eb        Ab               F         Bb 
I'm gonna change my world, I'm gonna have a blast 
Eb        G              F         Ab 
I'm gonna rock and roll, I'm gonna play it fast, and 
 
Verse 2
                    Eb 
So controlled by education 
G                          F 
Taught myself to think too much 
G              Bb 
Look back realized I'm not so... 
 
                                                 F  Gb 
F*cked up, ditched out, failed, won, who cares?          (Modulation, modulation) 
B 
Ate, drank, puked, shat, brushed, washed 
              Ab 
Dressed, say, hey, so what? 
                                Eb                      Bb 
I've got the rest of my life to do what they want me to do 
B 
Now I'll only have one set rule 
Eb                               B 
Don't let another summer pass me by
