VERSE

Am       Dm            G            C
I got arrested in the dark of the night
Am           Dm             G           C
The cop got restless as he read me my rights
             Am          Dm         G            C
He told me, I'm always envious of those that I jail
          Am           Dm             G            C
If I got locked up, nobody'd come to help me post bail
           Am  Dm   G    C
And I said Oh! Oh! Oooh Oooh (2x)

Am         Dm           G         C
Went to a party on the side of a hill
Am           Dm            G            C
Met three latinas who had gotten their fill
               Am     Dm           G            C
They told me, nobody ever gets us down on our knees
Am         Dm             G            C
Simply to help us take a load off our feet
           Am  Dm   G    C
And I said Oh! Oh! Oooh Oooh (2x)

CHORUS: (accuaracy? It may be different, but this works for me)

Am                     G
   And I'm never sure    what I'm living for,
F                         Em    Em F G Am
   But it's always on my mind
Am                      G
   Someone comes along,   always proves me wrong.
F                      G
   Think I'm gonna be fine.

VERSE 2

Am          Dm             G           C
I picked a pocket just to give it all back
Am            Dm               G       C
Took out the license, left my money intact
             Am        Dm                     G          C
The man said, I wanna thank thank you, and i had to ask why
Am           Dm             G        C
That was the old me, I was living a lie
           Am  Dm   G    C
And I said Oh! Oh! Oooh Oooh (2x)

Am          Dm               G           C
Riding the subway with the scent of her hair
Am              Dm                  G         C
She took out a toothbrush, started using it there.
              Am           Dm               G          C
She explained, I'm always sure today's the day I will die
       Am            Dm             G          C
I wanna look good if I get to look God in the eye
           Am  Dm   G    C
And I said Oh! Oh! Oooh Oooh (2x)

CHORUS

BREAK/BRIDGE:

C         G                       Am
  We get lost in the back of our minds
                         F                        
Got nothing to burn but time, time, time.
Dm                     G                        C    G
  Everybody's got the love, but they keep it inside
C         G                       Am
  We get lost in the back of our minds
                         F                        
Got nothing to burn but time, time, time
Dm                     G                       F-C   C  B  Bb Am
  Everybody's got the love, but they keep it inside. Oh-oh-oh-oh

VERSE 3
Am          Dm                 G        C
  Met an acquaintance, we were re-introduced
Am              Dm             G          C
  With more in common than we had in our youth
            Am              Dm      
She told me,  You look the same
             G         C 
I said, I'm now a new man
             Am               Dm                                 
She asked me   How does that work?
            G       C
I started giving a damn
           Am  Dm   G    C
And I said Oh! Oh! Oooh Oooh (bunch of times, finishes the song)
