F7     A7
F       G7     F
Ab     G      C

[Verse 1]
                      F7
The nickel dropped when I was on
My way beyond the rubicon
A7
What did I do?
                     F7
And of the games that I can handle
None are ones worth the candle
Ab7
What should I do?
F7                          G7
I'm a frightened, fickle person
F                            G
Fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin'
E7
What should I do?

[Chorus]
             Am             C/G
Oooh, after all the folderol
          F7               Ab     G
And hauling over coals stops
C
What will I do?

[Verse 2]
                      F7
Can't take a good day without a bad one
Don't feel just to smile until I've had one
A7
Where did I learn?
                F7
I make a fuss about a little thing
The rhyme is losing to the riddling
Ab7
Where's the turn?
F7                     G7
I don't want a home, I'd ruin that
F                                         G
Home is where my habits have a habitat
E7
Why give it a turn?

[Chorus]
             Am              C/G
Oooh, after all the folderol
          F7                Ab      G
And hauling over coals stops
C
What did I learn?

[Bridge]
Em      F           G
I am likely to miss the main event
Em    F         C7
If I stop to cry or complain again
Em           F            G            Am
So I will keep a deliberate pace
B7                                   A7
Let the damned breeze dry my face

F7             A7
F7             Ab7
F7    G7      F          G

E7
Am   C/G
F7     Ab     G
C

[Breakdown]
F7sus2                      A7
Ooooh mister wait until you see
F7sus2        Ab7
What I'm gonna be

[Verse 3]
F7             G7          F                   G
I've got a plan, a demand and it just began
E7
And if you're right, you'll agree
Am        C/G     F           Ab   G       C          C7
Here's coming a better version of me

[Outro]
Am        C/G     F           Ab   G       C           C7
Here it comes, a better version of me
Am        C/G     F           Ab   G       C
Here it comes, a better version of me
