D#m
Sitting at a stop sign 
F# 
Lookin' for a friend of mine 
B                           E F# 
Waiting to salute the flag 
D#m 
Talkin' to some he/she 
B 
Slidin' over next to me 
F#                                 E   F# 
Man, she said, this life is a drag 
D#m 
It's a shaky situation 
B 
I'm hangin' on my will 
F# 
And I get no satisfaction 
E                      B 
From a hundred dollar bill 
D#m 
But I got what I came for 
B 
And I'll do it 'till I drop 
F# 
You do what you want to do 
E                    B 
I ain't never gonna stop 
 

[Chorus]
 
D#m                        B 
You say you got something that makes you feel good 
F#                                  E   F# 
And you can't stop messin' with it 
 
D#m                    B 
All your life you've been so misunderstood 
F#                      E             F# 
'Cause you can't stop messin' with it. 
D#m   B   F#   E   B 
 

[Verse 2]

D#m 
Sittin' by the seashore 
B 
Dreamin' 'bout a little more 
F#                      E   F# 
Circlin' the classifieds 
D#m 
976 
B 
Man I need another fix 
F#                                 E     F# 
I'll never have to kiss the bride 
D#m 
Yeah, the city is a war zone 
B 
This country gone to hell 
F# 
And the beer cans in the alley 
B                   E       F# 
From the rich folks on the hill 
 
D#m 
They're screamin' hallellujah 
B 
But I don't givea damn 
F# 
'Cause I got my own religion 
E                              F# 
Yeah, it's a right here in my hand 
 

[Chorus]

D#m                        B 
You say you got something that makes you feel good 
F#                                  E   F# 
And you can't stop messin' with it 
 
D#m                    B 
All your life you've been so misunderstood 
F#                      E             F# 
'Cause you can't stop messin'with it.
