[Intro 1]
[C][G][Am][Am][G]
[C][G][Am][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]I fear I'm[G] dying from complicat[Am]ions
[G]Compli[C]cations due to [G]things
that I've left un[Am]done
That [G]all my [C]debts will be left un[G]paid
Feel like a [Am]cripple without a cane
I'm [G]like a [C]jack of all [G]trades
Who's a master of [Am]none[G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Am][Am][G]
[C][G][Am][Am]
Then [G]there's my

[Verse 2]
[C]father[G]
He's always looking on the [Am]bright side
Say[G]in' [C]things like
[G]"Son, life just ain't that [Am]hard"
He [G]is the [C]grand opti[G]mist
I am the [Am]world's poor pessimist
You [G]give him [C]burdensome times
And [G]he will escape un[Am]scarred[G]

[Chorus 1]
[G]I guess I take after my mot[Am]her
[G]I guess I take after my mot[Am]her[G]

[Solo 1]
[C][G][Am][Am][G]
[C][G][Am][Am][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]I used to be [G]quite resil[Am]ient
[G]Gain no [C]strength from counting the [G]beads
on a rosa[Am]ry
And [G]now the [C]wound has begun to [G]turn
Another [Am]lesson that has gone unlearned
But [G]this is [C]not a cry for [G]pity
or for sympa[Am]thy[G]

[Chorus 2]
[G]I guess I take after my mot[Am]her
[G]I guess I take after my mot[Am]her
[G]I guess I take after my mot[Am]her
[G]I guess I take after my mot[Am]her
