Derek Spears Chords by Grandaddy

[Verse]

     D
He slept right by the yogurt 

hut on a painted curb
         G                               
Wearing nothing but some cut-offs 
       A           A7
and a muscle shirt
        D
And at five AM, 

the donut girls came quietly to work
            G                                   
When they slid the trays 

and banged the bowls, 
     A                  A7
you woke up with a jerk
 
 
[Verse]

  D
Thirty-two ounce soda to 

start the day off right
       G                               
Every now and then remembering 
         A                     A7
little things about last night
 D
Hold on, take five, 

check out the fox in the Corvette
           G                              
Then you said, 
                           A                A7
"You know it don't get no better than that"

[Verse 3]

 D
He spent all the money 

on an ornate waterbed
          G                         
It had a carving of a 
              A            A7
tiger right above his head
            D
And he's embarassed of the 

fact that he works at Pizza Shack
            G                         
He says he made 90K a year 
           A            A7
before he hurt his back
 
 
[Verse 4]

         D
And the money his sister owes him, 

his cousin has, 

but he's in jail
                    G                                 
There's all these checks that should 
                 A  
be arriving any day 
                A7
now in the mail
        D
But mysteriously, 

the checks won't show 

and the sticky boombox by the door
             G                           
Will end up getting sold once more 
       A                   A7
for a lot less than before
