[Verse 1]

(A)              E               
You can have my life, I’m sad.  
A                E
You can have the beat in my heart.
 A              E               A
You can be my light, pizzazz.  
              E
You can be my spark in the dark.
     A                 E          
But if I’m out there acting the 
                      A        
bum I’ll become one, so no more 
        E
frigid nights in the cold.
A              E                 
I would fall asleep in the lawn 
                            D     
till the sun rose, 14 karat gold, 
A
gold.
 A               E
You can have my life, I’m sad.


[Chorus]

C#m       B                 A   
Broken downtown down on 
       E
Wedgewood and 8th.
          C#m               B     
And I’m bleeding like a heartache,
       A        E
 get ready to break.
         C#m          B       
And then on down the road comes 
     A       E
another mistake.
       C#m                     
Try to hide as I might, I can’t 
   B
quite get it right.
       E        A     B       
I’m bummin’.                 I’m 
     E         A
bummin’.

A                E
We can ride the bus all around in 
this town, I’m on it.
A             E
We can fall asleep on the ground by 
the sound, I want it.
   A               E              
Picture perfect, matted and framed
 with my name right on it.  14 Karat
  D      A
 gold, gold.
 A               E
You can have my life, I’m sad.


[Chorus 2]

 C#m       B                A    
Broken downtown down on Wedgewood
      E
 and 8th.
          C#m               B     
And I’m bleeding like a heartache,

I’m
 C#m                B             
Broken (bummin’) downtown down on 
    A          E
Wedgewood and 8th.
           C#m               B    
Yeah I’m bleeding like a 
        A        E
heartache, get ready to break.
            C#m           B       
I’ve been burning in the sun, and 
      A      E
I’m barely awake.
       C#m                     
Try to hide as I might, I can’t 
   B
quite get it right.
       E        A              
I’m bummin’.                 I’m 
    E         A
bummin’.


[Bridge]

 F#m                               
I can’t afford this bummin’, no.  I
        B

I can’t afford this bummin’, no.  I
        B
 can’t afford this bummin’, no.
   F#m                             
So take this life you gave me, save
               B
 me from vices, oh.
 Riff 1
I can’t afford this bummin’, no I’m 
in a crisis, oh.
   Riff 1
So take this life you gave me, save 
me from my vices.


[Chorus 3]

      A           E           A
I’m bummin’.            I’m bummin’.

And I’m bleeding like a heartache,

And then on down the road comes 
another mistake.

I’m bummin’.  (I can’t afford this 
bummin’, no I’m in a crisis, oh.)
    Riff 1
I’m bummin’.  (So take this life you
 gave me, save me from my vices.)
