Never Be Clever

[Intro]
A E/A F#m D A D/A A D/A A
E/A F#m D A D/A A

[Verse 1]
A                    E              F#m
Going down the line, my head up high
                   D            A
Wonder why it's so hard to feel fine
              E
Got all I need
Plastic teeth
  F#m
A pocket full of speed
        D             A
And I'm cool with the heat

[Pre-Chorus]
E
Groovy little lady
Seems I'm wasting her time
      F#m             D
Got a hit and a bullet
              A
Still back in crime
E
 People say I used to do better
     F#m                     D            A
So I guess I'm gonna have to get myself together
           A  E/A F#m
But I'll never

[Chorus]
D             A     D/A A
I'll never be clever
D/A       A       E/A F#m
   I'll never ever
D                A  D/A A
I'll never be clever

[Verse 2]
A                  E
 Some say I'm suicidal with a sense of humour
    F#m
Some   say I'm faking it all
D               A
Trying to start rumours
                  E
Some people say a moment lasts longer
  F#m
I find myself at home
        D             A
Settled down, write a song

[Pre-Chorus]
   E
But I love to hang around in black people's places
F#m          D           A
   Fascinated staring at faces
E
 Holy mama, make me concentrate
     F#m
I've got to write a song
      D         A
And I got to create

[Chorus]
         A    E/A F#m
But I'll never
D             A     D/A A
I'll never be clever
D/A         A                 E/A   F#m
   You know that I never ever,   mom
D          A               C
I'll never be clever, child

[Verse 3]
A  A
 Goin' down the line, you know,
E
my head up high
  F#m                D            A
I wonder why it's so hard to feel fine
               E
Got all I need, plastic teeth
  F#m                          D             A
A bucket full of speed and I'm cool with the heat

[Pre-Chorus]
  E
A groovy little lady seems I'm wasting her time
  F#m           D            A
I don't want to move back to crime
E
 And people say I used to do better
So,
  F#m                     D            A
I guess I'm gonna have to get myself together

[Chorus]
         A    F#m
But I'll never
D             A
I'll never be clever
            A       E/A F#m
I'll never ever, mom
D                A
I'll never be clever
                  A  E/A F#m
You know that I never

[Outro]
D             A
I'll never be clever
               E/A F#m
I'll never ever
D                A
I'll never be clever
