Em               D                   Em
I learned politeness on my mother's knee.

I learned by uprightness my number of friends should increase.

Em                       D            Em
- When I think about the things I've done,
G
I laugh out loud to no one.
D       Dsus4  D  Dsus2  D
Yeah, to no one.

Em
'Cause it's so hard to meet the eyes that I see.
                          G
When I try to open up my heart
                                              D
There's something inside me 'n  I know it is good

Inspired of the curves my smile was makin'
Em            D                 Em
Bumbers and kickers in one big stream
G                                 D
I grow up in a livesize pinball machine!

My mother threw me into this world as a winner

G          D                     Em
They tell jokes I'll never get to hear
