I'm a [D]lazy [A]guy
I'm a[D]mazed at the way some people [A]try and try and try
To [D]erect and then perfect some kind of [A]proof that they're alive before they [E]die
Well not me, 'cause [D]I'm a lazy [A]guy

And I'm a[D]mazed at the way some people [A]holler, fuss and run 'round
Like some [D]chicken with their head cut off or a [A]bullet from a gun
They should [D]all sit back, relax and maybe [A]try and have some fum
I'd help them [E]try, but [D]I'm a lazy [A]guy

And I must [D]defer a life of labor to some[A]one who needs it more
I'd much [D]prefer to be their neighbor, just the [A]guy who lives next door
Sit out [D]on the porch with my crap guitar and my [A]mason jar of tea, and you know [E]why
'Cause [D]I'm a lazy [A]guy

I'm a [D]lazy [A]guy
I'm a[D]mazed at the way some people [A]try and try and try
To [D]erect and then perfect some kind of [A]proof that they're alive before they [E]die
Well not me, 'cause [D]I'm a lazy [A]guy

And I'm a[D]mazed at the way you count my [A]failings like some clerk
Like you're the [D]saint in this relationhip and [A]me I'm just some jerk
Girl [D]don't you know and relationships [A]take work so why don't you [E]try?
'Cause [D]I'm a lazy [A]guy

I'm a [D]lazy [A]guy
I'm a[D]mazed at the way some people [A]try and try and try
To [D]erect and then perfect some kind of [A]proof that they're alive before they [E]die
Well not me, 'cause [D]I'm a lazy [A]guy

Yeah I'm a[D]mazed at the way the days just [A]slip on by so fast
Like ten t[C#m]housand go-carts racing down the [G#m]mountain of the past
If I [A]had a bead on what I need to [F#]make the moment last I just might [G#]try
I just might [B]try

Yeah I'm a[D]mazed at the way the days just [A]keep on slipping by
And I got [D]plans and dreams and hopeful schemes, [A]enough to make you cry
I'm just [D]waiting for that single perfect [A]point in time to give 'em all a [E]try
And [D]I'm a lazy lazy [A]guy

I'm a [D]lazy [A]guy
I'm a[D]mazed at the way some people [A]try and try and try
To [D]erect and then perfect some kind of [A]proof that they're alive before they [E]die
Well not me, 'cause [D]I'm a lazy [A]guy

I'm a [D]lazy [A]guy {repeated then D A to fade}
