(VERSE 1)

C C Em Em Am Am
I fear I'm dying from complications
C C Em Em Am Am
Complications due to things that I've left undone
C C Em Em
That all my debts will be left unpaid
Am Am
Feel like a cripple without a cane
C C
I'm like a jack of all trades
Em Em Am Am
Who's a master of none

(VERSE 2)

C C Em Em Am Am
Then there's my father
C C Em Em Am Am
He's always looking on the bright side
C C Em Em Am Am
Saying things like "Son, life just ain't that hard."
C C Em Em Am Am
He is the grand optimist
C C Em Em Am Am
I am the world's poor pessimist
C C Em Em
You give him burdensome times
Am Am
And he will escape unscarred

(CHORUS)

G G Am Am
I guess I take after my mother (X 2)

(VERSE 3)

C C Em Em Am Am
I used to be quite resilient
C C Em Em Am Am
Gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
C C Em Em Am Am
Now the wound has begun to turn
C C Em Em Am Am
Another lesson that has gone unlearned
C C Em Em Am Am
But this is not a cry for pity or for sympathy

(CHORUS)

G G Am Am
I guess I take after my mother (X 4)
