Slobberbone - Lazy Guy

........D......A
I'm a lazy guy

......D.............................................A
I'm amazed at the way some people try and try and try

....D..................................................A
To erect and then perfect some kind of proof that they're alive before they

E
die

.............................D.............A
Well not me, 'cause I'm a lazy guy

And I'm amazed at the way some people holler, fuss and run 'round
Like some chicken with their head cut off or a bullet from a gun
They should all sit back, relax and maybe try and have some fun
I'd help them try, but I'm a lazy guy

And I must defer a life of labor to someone who needs it more
I'd much prefer to be their neighbor, just the guy who lives next door
Sit out on the porch with my crap guitar and my mason jar of tea, and you know why
'Cause I'm a lazy guy

I'm a lazy guy
I'm amazed at the way some people try and try and try
To erect and then perfect some kind of proof that they're alive before they die
Well not me, 'cause I'm a lazy guy

And I'm amazed at the way you count my failings like some clerk
Like you're the saint in this relationship and me I'm just some jerk
'Cause it's love we got between us, and relationships take work so why don't you try?
'Cause I'm a lazy guy

I'm a lazy guy
I'm amazed at the way some people try and try and try
To erect and then perfect some kind of proof that they're alive before they die
Well not me, 'cause I'm a lazy guy


...............D............................................A
Yeah I'm amazed at the way the days just slip on by so fast

............C#m...............................G#
Like ten thousand go-carts racing down the mountain of the past

........A........................................F#
If I had a bead on what I need to make the moment last

......................G#
I just might try

.................B
I just might try


Yeah I'm amazed at the way the days just keep on slipping by
And I got plans and dreams and hopeful schemes, enough to make you cry
I'm just waiting for that single perfect point in time to give 'em all a try
And I'm a lazy guy

Slobberbone - Lumberlung

G......................................D
A breath of whiskey on my cotton shirt

Em.....................C
Turn on the fan, take off your skirt

G..........................................D
Lay here beside me on these sheets so stained

C....................................G
For a little while, but it ain't the same


Em.........................................C
And she brings me water and it always tastes so good

G..............................D
She brings me flowers from the woods

Em.................................................C
Stays here in this house with me when I know she'd rather leave

G......................D
Stays with me as I sleep

G......................................D
And she helps me nurse my lumberlung

.............C
But it's no longer fun

......D
For her

Once I dreamed we'd took a roadtrip, just me and her
Through the southern and midwest states
Turned north just south of Arkansas and we headed up
Towards the vast Great Lakes
And I thought I'd sleep through Texas, but I woke up in Illinois
And the car in the lane next to me was driven by a little boy
And he flashed a smile at me then he drove straight off the road
Smacked an overpass, I watched his car explode
And when she wakes me from my delirium
I know I'm no longer fun
For her

And she brings me water and it always tastes so good
She brings me flowers from the woods
Stays here in this house with me when I know she'd rather leave
Stays with me constantly
And she helps me nurse my lumberlung
But it's no longer fun
For her
