Why Don't You Get A Job?
Tom: F
VERSE 1: (No guitar this verse!!)
My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says "Man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"
VERSE 2:
F
She sits on her ass
Bb
He works his hands to the bone
F                       C
To give her money every payday
F                                 Bb
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
F                   C       F
Well my friend, you gotta say
CHORUS:
F                            Bb
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, No Way-ay-ay-ay
F                C             F
Na na, why don't you get a job?
F                          Bb
Say no way, say no way-ah, no way-ay-ay-ay
F                C             F
Na na, why don't you get a job?
VERSE 3:
F                              Bb
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
F                              C 
To keep her bill collectors at bay
F                              Bb
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
F                     C              F
Cause that girl's got expensive taste
CHORUS
BREAK:
Bb
Well I guess it ain't easy
                 F
Doing nothing at alllllllll  ohhhh yeahhhh
Bb
But hey man free rides just don't
       G            C
Come along every day
(Let me tell you about my other friend now)

What Happened To You?
Tom: Bb

|Bb    |Bb    |C     |C         |F  |Bb |F  |C
  What in the world happened to you?
|F  |Bb  |F E |Eb
[Verse 1:]
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
Before you started toking you used to have a brain
    |Dm           |F           |C          |C
But now you don't get even the simplest of things
  |Dm           |F         |C          |C
I draw a little picture or even use my hands
  |Dm    |F               |C              |C
I try to explain, but you just don't understand
[Chorus:]
|Dm   |F              |C     |C
(Hey, hey) Man you're really losing it
|Dm   |F              |C     |C
(Hey, hey) And you've really done alot of junk now
|Dm   |F              |C     |C
(Hey, hey) But you keep on abusing it
|Bb    |Bb    |C    |C          |F  |Bb |F  |C
  What in the world happened to you?
|F  |Bb  |F E |Eb
[Verse 2:]
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
It's bad enough you do it, to do it to yourself
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
But taking someone with you well you know that's something else
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
I say `I'm not that kind of person, I'm not that kind of man
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
I try to explain, but you just don't understand
[Chorus:]
(Hey, hey) Man you're really losing it ...
[Verse 3, instrumental (solo)]
[Chorus:]
(Hey, hey) Man you're really losing it ...
[Verse 4 & 5:]
 |Dm              |F         |C             |C
I might be sympathetic, or cut a little slack
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
I thought that you were willing to give a little back
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
But you do it in the morning, you do it in the night
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
You lie to refrain from just faceing your life
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
So I'll see you there tomorrow, you'll be gaking up again
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
I'll see you see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
  |Dm              |F         |C             |C
I try to explain but you just don't understand
Self-Esteem
Tom: A
a música apresenta essa seqûencia de acordes: A_F_C_G
La la, la-la-la, laa la la, la-la-la laa
(Verse 1:)
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
Practiced all of the things I would say
(When) she came over, I lost my nerve:
I took her back and made her desert
I-I know, I'm being used
That's OK, man, 'cause I like the abuse
I-I know, she's playing with me
That's OK 'cause I got no self esteem
(Pre-chorus  -- if you can call it that!)
Oh-h wa-ay, yeah, oh-ho-ho...(etc)...yeah!   
(Verse 2:)
We make plans (to) go out at night
I wait 'till two, then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
She keeps it up I just might tell her so
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus:)
When she says, oh, that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she says, oh, that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can stand
Well I guess, I should speak up for myself
But I really think it's better this way:
The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care--
Right??
Yeah-ha-ha
(Verse 3:)
While I relate this little bit,
(It) Happens more than I like to admit
Late at night, she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and lookin' to score
I-I know, I should say no, but
It's kinda hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb; I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
She's Got Issues 
Tom: E5
Intro: B5 - B5

Verse:
E5                  B5                D5                  A5
    I'm seeing this girl and she just might be out of her mind
E5                 B5               D5                A5
    Well she's got baggage and it's all the emotional kind
E5                  B5               D5          A5
    She talks about closure and that validation bit
E5                     B5                 D5               A5
    I don't mean to be insensitive, but I really hate that shit
Chorus:
   E5     B5        D5                       A5

Verse:
E5                  B5                 D5                A5
   Now I know she'll feel abandoned if I don't stay over late
E5                  B5                         D5              A5
   And I know she's afraid to commit, but it's only our second date
Chorus:
   E5     B5        D5                       A5
   Yeah - Yeah - Oh man she's got issues and I'm gonna pay
   E5     B5         D5                         A5
   Yeah - Yeah - She says she's the victim, but she takes it all out on me
Post-Chorus:
C5                         G5
   I don't know why you're messed up
A5                       E5
   I don't know why your whole life is a chore

Verse:
E5                B5             D5                A5
   Now she talks about her ex nonstop, but I don't mind
E5                            B5                  D5                A5
   But when she calls out his name in bed, that's where I draw the line
E5               B5                     D5                   A5
   You told me a hundred times how your father left and he's gone
E5                         B5            D5                    A5
   But I wish you wouldn't call me daddy when we're gettin' it on
Chorus:
   E5     B5        D5                       A5

Post-Chorus:
C5                      G5
   If you think I'm controlling
A5                            E5
   Then why do you follow me around
C5                  G5
   If you're not co-dependent
A5                       E5
   Then why do you let others drag you down
C5                         G5
   I don't know why you're messed up
A5                       E5
   I don't know why your whole life is a chore
C5              G5
   Just do me a favor
