I've got a chip on my shoulder
and
my heart on my sleeve.
I
bitch and moan.
I
sob and grieve.
Life
is a toil, I do believe.
I've
got a chip on my shoulder
and
my heart on my sleeve.
Capo II

(F Am / Em Am )
I was born into a cushy life.
I never had any sorrow or strife.
Never had any struggles from
which to learn.
I've got a lot of stuff I never
had to earn.
F Am / Em Am :||
Can't you see what a hell it is
to be me? I feel so sad.
I've had everything I could ever
want,
but I never wanted anything that
I had.
Oh, if only I had been oppressed!
Might have built up some
character, I'd feel so blessed.
Might have grown into a man
standing proud and tall.
I could have been the one tearing
down those walls.
Don't you know I finally got my
wish?
My wife up and left, said she'd
had enough.
Now there's only one thing left
to do—
—I'm going down to the bridge,
and I'm gonna jump.
