Verse:
                        Bb
My finger paints aren't great
                    C      F
but I still hang them on my fridge
                  Bb
Reminds me of the fun I had
F           C      F
whenever I look at it -nooo-


         Bb         F
I am not Picasso or da Vinci
       Bb
or who knows who
    F            Bb
No, I am not the best by far,
F      C           F
I sure like what I do


         Dm            C
-Alright guys, on your marks
F
Get set-

Chorus:
                  Bb
Slow down, take a nap
     C           F
I'll catch up to you
                Bb
Run laps around me,
          C             Dm
but we'll both burn out soon
    F             Bb
The finish line's close
             C          Dm
and you have nothing to prove
    F          Bb        C          Dm
And though I'm behind, I need a nap too
F                  Bb
Cause though I'm a tortoise,
C                 Dm
I have nothing to prove
F
Though I'm a tortoise,
C                 F
I have nothing to prove

a slap on the wrist

a tomb made of stone


   Dm     C          F
a casket awaiting a nap
              Bb       Dm
We all end up six feet bеlow
           C           Dm
Bury me in my favorite hat
    F                        Bb
The mеdals I've won from the races I've run
F               C            F
On display back home with my cat
   Dm             Bb
We all end up six feet below

So why should we care ‘bout all that

Chorus:
F        Bb          C              F
I run my mouth and I will until I'm old

And things may not be as the forecaster told
F                 Bb         C          Dm
Guess they wanted me to show off what I do
F              Bb       C            Dm
But I couldn't care any less to show you
F                  Bb
Cause though I'm a hare,
         C          Dm
I've got nothing to prove
F            Bb
Though I'm a hare,
         C           Dm
I've got nothing to prove

Can I hang our favorite pictures
