How can you say there's only one way up?
           D                          G
When you know there's a million ways down
D                                G
Some folks are falling, others trying to get up
D                              G
I'm the one who's staggering around

How can you lay there when you got to get up
     D                          G
When other folks are going downtown?
D                           G
Some of them flying out or making a bus
     D                   G
And you're just laying around

How can you say it's just beginner's luck
        D                   G
When a kid picks up on the sound?
      D                                   G
I'm flipping and a-flopping, don't know which way is up
          D                       G
But you know what it means to be down

Yeah, I'm the one who's staggering around
