[Verse 1]
[C]I was[F][C][G][C]
never good with [F]money,
it just [C]slipped right through my hand[F]s.
The [C]land of milk and hon[Am]ey was
my [Dm]never never [G]land.
Full [C]time occupation [F]always
[C]seemed just out of [F]reach.
I like [C]reading books and [Am]mak ing songs
and [Dm]walking on the [G]beach
Living [F]un der the illu[C]sion,
I was [F]footloose and care[G]free
And [C]every [G]girl [C]I ever [F]loved
was [C]smarter [G]than [C]me
I got a storybook religion,
[F]a barroo[C]m philosophy
[F]Got a [C]part -time education [Am]and
a [Dm]staying -up -late degree
[G]All my egg[C]s were in one basket[F],
all my [C]hopes against the [F]rocks
All my [C]dreams left in a [Am]boat that
sank [Dm]before it left the [G]docks
I was [F]raised on misdemean
[C]ors and pet[F]ty lar[G]ceny
And [C]every [G]girl I [C]ever [F]loved
was smarter [G]than [C]me
Always [G]holding on [C]to something,
never [G]knowing what it [C]was
When [G]they ask [C]me why the stupid [Am]look,
I say [Dm]because.[G]
[C][F][C][G]
[C]I've seen friends
plagued with ambi[F]tion,
[C]Poisoned by success,
[F]Tormented by [C]tradition,
[Am]denial a[Dm]nd excess
[G]I've seen
God [C]in the face of a [F]woman
And
God [C]in the face of a child
[F]Seen a dev[C]il walk in with his
[Am]head held high
Seen [Dm]genius defiled
[G]I've hea[F]rd broken angels singing
[C]In per[F]fect harmony
[G]And eve[C]ry gir[G]l I eve[C]r lov[F]ed
was [C]smarter [G]than [Am]me
And [C]every girl [G]I e[C]ver l[F]oved
was [C]smarter [G]than [C]me
