Capo 1

Intro:  C E   C E 

Verse: 

 C                             E 
Long as I'm on this side of forever 
          C                                E 
I'll be singin' for my supper, won't say never 
         C                                  E 
And the road I take, whether high or low I know 
        C                              E 
Once I catch a song I've got to let it go 
                 E G    E G 
Here we go now...   yeah 


Verse:
 
 E                           G 
Wake up boy this is your conscience 
 E                                         D 
Parrot on your shoulder who nags at you to win 
 E                          C 
Loser for a moment, but a moment seems a lifetime 
 A                                  D                 C   E C D 
Wrong side of the bed, here we go again, here we go again 


Verse: 
 
  C                                        E 
Nights I've spent so drunk from guzzlin' wonder 
           C                                       E 
Morning manager cracks the whip I fight not to go under 
    D 
And If and when my ship rolls in 
       A 
Well, Lord I'll have it made 
          C 
And I'll toss my blues up the sky 
      A                Bm  C      D  C 
Throw on my mirrored shaaaaaades 


Pre-Chorus 

 C                    D 
Some like to play it safe 
 C            A  G     A    G    C   D 
Others dangeroooous, ooooooooooh 
 C                    D 
They say that safety sells 
       C              A    G       A   G 
But I dig that danger ruuuuuush, ooooooooh 



 E 
Oddball draws his water 
 A            D 
From another well 
   E 
A sore thumb is a beacon 
      A                D 
That leads you out of Hell 
 C       D 
Oddball heed the call 
  C                            D 
You've got to answer when the light goes on 
 C       D 
Oddball heed the call 
  C                            D            C E C D 
You've got to answer when the light goes on 


BREAK: 

 C 
Bathroom wall poet 
      E 
Or a pigeon with a message 
 C 
Hopin' my two-cents worth 
      E                        D 
Will pull you from the wreckaaaaage 


Pre-Chorus
 
          E                   C 
Let the bells of originality ring 
          A 
Let the voices that choose their own path  
 G   Bm  C    D   C   D 
siiiiiiiiiing 
 C                     D 
They say that safety sells 
       C              A    G       A   G 
But I dig that danger ruuuuuush, ooooooooh 


 
 E 
Oddball draws his water 
 A            D
