I look like a loser, coming from the gutter
             Am7      D7           Am7      D7
Want to be a writer, and be a keen reader

Listen to my opera, now I'm a good listener

Got to make my mind up, so go around later

At first I find it funny, but now it's just annoying
            Am7     D7                   Am7      D7
I dingalingaling her, but that's another story
              Am7 D7               Am7      D7
