I did not think I was the one being addressed

In hemorrhoid commercials on the TV set

I often stand and stare at nothing in the grocery store
Gm C A
Because I do not know what to buy to eat any more

That there's some guy who?ll take the pain away
[Pre-Chorus]

And there are children who have cancer
Dm
And so all bets are off
G
Cause I can't compete with that
Dm
So all bets are off
G
Cause I can't compete with that
[Chorus]

I've got grey tickles and black pressure

And I'd rather lose my arm inside of a corn thresher

Just like Uncle Paul

Just like Uncle Paul

I, I-I-I-I, I-I

You must be kidding me except I do know better than to ask

I can't believe I missed New York during the 70's
Dm/C
I could have gotten a head start in the world of disease
Bbmaj7 Gm

I'm sure I would have contracted every single solitary thing
[Pre-Chorus]
C A
And there are children who have cancer
Dm
And so all bets are off
G
Cause I can't compete with that
Dm
So all bets are off
G
Cause I can't compete with that
[Verse 5] (variation)
Dm A/D Dm7
They say let go let go let go
Dm6
You must learn to let go
Dm A/D Dm7
If I hear that fucking phrase again
Dm7
This baby?s gonna blow
Bb | Gsus4 Gm |
Into a million itsy bitsy tiny pieces, don?t you know
C A
Just like my favorite scene in Scanners
[Verse 6] (variation)
Dm
Apparently there was an outcry of some sort today
Dm/C
Which no-one heard incidentally and by the way
Bbmaj7
I have not had the strength to leave my place in days or weeks
Gsus4 Gm Gsus4 Gm7
And I'll never understand what?s happening in the Middle East
[Pre-Chorus]
C A
And there are children who have cancer
Dm
And so all bets are off

So all bets are off
G
Cause I can't compete with that

Just like Uncle Paul
