Lyrics

I (C)wake up ev ’ry (Am)eve ning

with a big smile on my (C)face and it (Am)nev er feels out of (F)place.

And (C)you’re still prob ’bly (Am)work ing

at a nine to five (C)pace, I (Am)won der how bad that (F)tastes.

When you see my (Am)face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you (F)hell.

When you walk my (Am)way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you (F)hell.

Now, (C)where’s your pick et (Am)fence, love?

And where’s that shin y (C5)car?

(Am)Did it ev er get you (F)far?

You (C)nev er seem so (Am)tense, love, to your (F)self, I’ve nev er seen you fall so (Am)hard, and the do you know where you (F)are?

And (G)truth be told, I (Am7)miss you.

And (G)truth be told, I’m (F7)ly ing.

When you see my (Am)face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you (F)hell.

When you walk my (Am)way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you (F)hell.

If you find a (C)man that’s worth a (Am)damn and treats you (F)well,

then he’s a (C)fool, you’re just as (G)well, hope it gives you (F)hell,

I hope it gives you (C)hell.

To (C)mor row you’ll be (Am)think ing to your (F)self, “Where did er it you all go (Am)wrong?” But the list you goes on and (F)on.

And (G)truth be told, I (Am7)miss you.

And (G)truth be told, I’m (F7)ly ing.

When you see my (Am)face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you (F)hell.

When you walk my (Am)way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you (F)hell.

If you find a (C)man that’s worth a (Am)damn and treats you (F)well,

then he’s a (C)fool, you’re just as (G)well, hope it gives you (F)hell,

I hope it gives you (C)hell.

To (F)hell.

Now (Am)you’ll nev er see what (F)you’ve done to me.

You can (C)take back your mem o ries; they are (Em)no good to (G)me.

(C)And (Am)here’s all your lies, you can (Adim7)look me in the eyes with the (Dm)sad, sad look that you (G)wear so well.

When you see my (CN.C.)face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.

When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.

When you find a man that’s worth a damn and treats you well,

then he’s a fool, you’re just as well, hope it gives you hell.

When you see my (C)face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you (F)hell.

When you walk my (Am)way, hope it gives you (G)hell, hope it gives you (C)hell.

When you hear this song and you sing a long, well, you’ll nev er (F)tell.

And you’re the (Am)fool, I’m just as (G)well, hope it gives you (C)hell.

When you hear this (Am)song I hope that (G)it will give you (C)hell.

You can sing a (Am)long, I hope that (G)it puts you through (C)hell.
