I'm really not complaining,

I realize it's just a job
C G D
and I hate hearing belly-aching rockstars whine and sob
C G
Cause I could be busing tables
Em /D C
I could well be pumping gas
G Bm C
but I get paid much finer for playing piano
G
and kissing ass
G Bm
this is one I wrote just an hour ago
C G
