G Em C D
Sometimes I'm sure, most times less certain
Am G D
If anything's behind the curtain
B7 C G Em
Sometimes I wonder if it matters what it's called
C D G
God or nothing else at all
Riff
G - / 4-2-0
G Em C D
Sometimes I'm clean, sing like a sparrow
Am G D
Some days I'm nasty and I'm narrow

And I get spiteful, I get ugly, I get mean

Can't get back on the beam
Riff

G Em C D
Some days the world's prim as a show dog
Am G D
Sometimes it's filthy as a boss hog

And those days the phone feels like a three thousand pound weight
C D G
Can't lift it to my face
Riff
G - / 4-2-0
G Em C D
Some days it's clear, so I can see it
Am G D
What to be and how to be it

Today I'm hopeful I can knock it off tonight

Sleepwalking through my life
