I Dont Wanna Get Wise

          Bb          C
Though we tried to be kind
      F
I was sunk, always late
        Bb       F C
We  were  quick to rotate
         Dm             C
Let's  be blunt, I was a bluff
           Bb            F
And  the surreal life was tough
        Dm            C
I was a runt, we told lies
       Eb
But to our great surprise

[Pre-Chorus]
        Gm7          C
All the shit that we did
                Gm7      C
Brought us some money, I guess
          Gm7          C
And those snotty young kids
       Gm          C
Were a standing success
          Bb          F
Helped us conquer and rise
       Bb              C
And we learned in this hell

[Chorus]
N.C.               F
We don't wanna get wise
F
(I don't wanna get wise
F
I don't wanna get wise)
                Eb    N.C.
Life teaches us well

[Interlude]
Eb   F    Eb


[Verse 2]
Eb       F
We still pull, we get smug
       Bb         C
And we all like a drug
     F
Over full, always sated
Bb         F C
Puffed up, elated
        Dm         C
Let's admit our mistakes
         Dm            F
Are what triggered our breaks
          Dm             C
We were shits, oh, no disguise
       Eb
And it is no surprise

[Pre-Chorus]
         Gm7          C
That the crap that we did
           Gm7        C
Brought us money, God bless
          Gm7          C
And those snotty young kids
       Gm          C
Were a standing success
          Bb          F
Helped us conquer and rise
       Bb              C
And we learned in this hell

[Chorus]
N.C.                F
We didn't wanna get wise
F
(I don't wanna get wise
F
I don't wanna get wise)
                Eb   N.C.
Life teaches us well

[Bridge]
Eb              Dm7
Experiment, you universe
Cm7               Bb
We'll ask why you choose to curse
                   Ab
Why set a fire you plan to douse?
C                               Eb
Why set a rat to catch a mouse?

[Verse 3]
       F
He was drunk (he was drunk), I was blind (he was blind)
          Bb          C
Though we tried to be kind
      F
I was sunk (he was sunk), he was late (always late)
        Bb         C
We were quick to rotate
         Dm           C
We tried hard to stay young
        Bb              F
But the high notes were sung
           Dm                  C
We've been scarred, we've been prized
              Eb              F
But you could see in our eyes
