"Walking Contradiction"

Intro:
B B(PM)...

Verse:
E D A E
Do as l say and not as l do
E D A
because the shit's so thick you can't run away.
E D A E
I beg to differ and on the contrary,
E D A
l agree with every word that you say.
E D A E
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive,
E D A
My wallet's fat and so is my head.
E D A E
Hit and run and then l'll hit you again,
E D A
I'm a smart-ass but l'm playing dumb.

Chorus:
E D B E D B
E D A E E D A
NO WORDS

Verse:
E D A E
Standards set and broken all the time,
E D A
Control the chaos from behind a gun.
E D A E
Call it as l see it even if
E D A
I was born deaf, blind and dumb.
E D A E
Losers winning big on the lottery,
E D A
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue.
E D A E
Constant refutation with myself,
E D A
I'm a victim of a catch-22.

Chorus:
E D B
I have no belief.
E D B E DA E
But I believe, I'm a walking contradiction.
E D A
And, l ain't got no right.
