It was a pretty good GPA
We got a couple of good grades
       A              B
And it sounded like a pretty good seven inch

E
And winter didn't feel so cold
I had a smile for everyone I know
      A                  B                              E
I was starting to get comfortable in the place that I'm in
      B                 A
And it used to not mean anything
   B                A
It used to not mean anything
   E                A                B
It used to not mean anything, but it really means nothing now

E             A           E
Nothing means anything anymore
E             A           E
Everything is less than zero
    E                       C#m
And I know it won't do much good
        E                 C#m
Getting drunk and sad and singing
               A                B
But I'm at the end of my rope
And I feel like swinging

It was an unflattering photograph
    C#m                    Ab
And people saw it all over town
A                 B                 E
Hanging up on the wall above the urinal
         C#m                  E
Hear the man with the notepad say,
             C#m                       Ab
"Oh, they're funny, but they drink too much"
A                           B                          E
"Don't be surprised if they don't amount to nothing at all"
        B             A
We were talking about giving up
        B             A
We were talking about lying down
        C#m     B     A
We were talking about tying off
          B                          Ab     A
Wasn't it supposed to mean something now?

I've been called out, cuckolded, castrated, but I survived
     E                    A                  E
I am covered in urine and excrement but I'm alive
