I fear I'm dying from complications

That all my debts will be left unpaid

Feel like a cripple without a cane

I'm like a jack of all trades
Em Am
Who's a master of none
(VERSE 2)
C Em Am
Then there's my father
C Em Am
He's always looking on the bright side
C Em Am
Saying things like "Son, life just ain't that hard."
C Em Am
He is the grand optimist
C Em Am
I am the world's poor pessimist

You give him burdensome times
Am
And he will escape unscarred
(CHORUS)
G Am
I guess I take after my mother (X 2)
(VERSE 3)
C Em Am
I used to be quite resilient
C Em Am
Gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
C Em Am
Now the wound has begun to turn
C Em Am
Another lesson that has gone unlearned
C Em Am
But this is not a cry for pity or for sympathy
(CHORUS)
G Am
I guess I take after my mother (X 4)
