[C] one day I woke up

and the folks that i [G] admired

[C] couldn't say a kind word

and never seemed inspired

[F] anyone can have a [G] bad day

[F] you can't always be your [G] best

but if i'm getting that way

You can say, "give it a rest" and then...

[C] Stick me on an ice flow

before i get mean and [G] grumpy

[C] and I'm all paranoid

sensitive and [G] jumpy

I don't really feel like

this old man that i've become

I try hard to be pleasant

and be good to everyone

so before my hinges start groaning

and my memory's a mess

and I'm bitching and moaning

and I forget hom=w I am blessed

Stick me on an ice flow

before i get mean and grumpy

and I get all paranoid

sensitive and jumpy

Maybe when my friends all gather

to say that last goodby

and they lay me in the heather

with tear drops in their eyes

the me that they'll remember

was nice to them sometimes

and tried to be there for them

before i became unkind

because they...

Stuck me on an ice flow

before i got mean and grumpy

and got all paranoid

sensitive and jumpy
