[Verse 1]
C
My parents paid for college and I wonder why
C
To have me be a comic flipping burgers on the side
F7
You can't have an apartment making 8.75
C
Let alone car insurance after two DWIs
G7 F7
I don't think I can write enough songs to stay alive
C N.C.
I would turn to prostitution, but I don't think I'd get by
E7 Am
My brain's so fried I don't think I could pass a drug test
E7 Am
And if my daddy weren't a lawyer, I'd probably be in jail by now (it also helps to be white)
F G C Am
Throw your hands in the air on my emotional roller coaster
F N.C.
Everybody do the mood swing
[Chorus]
F G C
I'll never amount to anything
Am
I'll never amount to anything
F
I'll never amount to anything
G
I’ll never amount to nothin'
[Verse 2]
C
My therapist said focus on the now and here
C
So I savor all the flavor when I pound a beer
F7
I get heart palpitations and panic attacks
C
But I don't think I could trust myself around Xanax
G7 F7
My therapist said I should take my meds
C N.C.
But that's exactly what the government wants me to do
E7 Am
I switch banks every time I overdraw my checking account
E7 Am
I'm at a point where 100 dollars could change my life (if I didn't spend it on cigarettes)
F G C Am
You'll drag bodies from my emotional wreckage, baby
F N.C.
What's the point of trying?
[Chorus]
F G C
I'll never amount to anything
Am
I'll never amount to anything
F
I'll never amount to anything
G
I’ll never amount to nothin'

[Verse 3]
C N.C.
In first grade they tell you you could be the president
C N.C.
But I can't even get people to follow me on Twitter
F7
I drink and I smoke, and I never use a rubber
C
And also I play the lottery
G7 F7
Raised in suburbia to die in the streets
C N.C.
But my parents still say that they're proud of me
E7 Am
I'll be a sewer of emotionally-draining shit
E7 Am
And it'll take more than a manhole to shut me up (haha, manhole)
F G C Am
You'll lose your luggage at my emotional baggage claim
F G C Am
You'll lose your luggage at my emotional baggage claim
F N.C.
Poster boy of eugenics
[Chorus]
F G C
I'll never amount to anything

I'll never amount to anything
F
I'll never amount to anything

I’ll never amount to nothin'
C
Anything

I'll never amount to anything
F
I'll never amount to anything
G
I’ll never amount to nothin'
