You were tryin' to be cute
E                      G
And it didn't work out
E        E
You were tryin' to be charming
E                       G
And it didn't come off
E        E
You were tryin' to be clever
E                   G
A big waste of time
E        E
You were tryin' to get rough
E                           G
But you're waiting in line

A B
   You can't make it with the down boys
A B
   They don't hear a word you say
A B
   You can't make it with the down boys
A B
   Uh just stay out of their way

E        E
You were trying to be sharp
E                      G
But they couldn't wait
E        E
You were trying to be eternal
E                       G
But uh that didn't rate
E        E
You were tryin' to be smooth
E                         G
You're rough on the edges
E        E              E
You were tryin' to be, hysterical
      E
And I still ain't laughin'

A B
  You can't make it with the down boys
A B
  Uh they don't hear a word you say
A B
  You can't make it with the down boys
A B
  Just stay out of their way

E        E
You were tryin' to be in
E                            G
But they left you out (yelp?)
E        E
You were tryin' to be in
E              E      G
Two different worlds
E        E
You were tryin' to be in
E                    G
Oscillation in shame
E        E
You were tryin' to be in
E                           G
But you're lost in the game

A B

Stay out of their way

   Out of their way
