Verse 1:
Am
I don’t really know my own strength
Am                          Dm
Remember that the heart’s a muscle
E                                Am
Any time it beats, I’ll beat you down

Am
No me dígas, merci beaucoup, mi amoré
Am                          Dm
“Ç'est la vie,” They say to me
E                                           Am
Any language that I speak’s just a freak of sound

Chorus:
F                                          C
Being full of vigor is a rigorous task and I am a lazy man
     E                       Am
Yes, I lift my lazy hands in prayer
F                                                E                  Am
Does the Devil help those who help themselves to Hell, and does God care?

Am                                                     Dm
So if I ever go and break my neck hangin’ out the 13th floor
   E                                             Am
At least I won’t have to hold my head up high no more

Verse 2:
Am
Miserable’s a term reserved for over-dramatics
    Am                      Dm
I'm either wrong or one of them
E                           Am
Human nature is my greatest flaw

Chorus:
F                                          C
Being full of vigor is a rigorous task and I am a lazy man
     E                       Am
Yes, I lift my lazy hands in prayer
F                                                E                  Am
Does the Devil help those who help themselves to Hell, and does God care?

Am                                                     Dm
So if I ever go and break my neck hangin’ out the 13th floor
   E                                             Am
At least I won’t have to hold my head up high no more

Bridge: Am Dm E Am

Bridge:
E                 Am          Dm     E
(Oh) He’s got the whole world in his hands [x8]

Chorus:
Am                                                     Dm
So if I ever go and break my neck hangin’ out the 13th floor
   E
At least I won’t have to hold my head up high no

Am                                                  Dm
If I ever go and break my neck hangin’ out the 13th floor
   E                                             Am
At least I won’t have to hold my head up high no more!
