Call me whatever you may, I ain't stoppin' the train
G C D C G
I got a pill for the pain, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, poor boy
[VERSE 1]
C G
And I know that I can't defeat you

You might be making 'em stare, so leave the care to the poor boy, the poor boy
G D
And that's the name of the game, keep on stayin' the same,
G C D C G
Ain't nobody to blame, nobody but the poor boy, the poor boy
[VERSE 2]
C G
Well okay, so you fell asleep today
D G
What's funny to me though is that you did that yesterday
C G
You must think I'm mad, to do all the things that I don't need to do
D G
But while you're laughin' at me, well I'll be laughin' at you
[CHORUS 3]
G D
So I get into the game, but always keep it the same
G C D C G
And I'll be usin' your name, but they'll be yellin' at me "Poor boy, poor boy"
G D
But I'll be happy for you, cause you got nothin' to do
G C D C G
And I'll be singin' the blues, walkin' around singin' "Poor boy, poor boy"
[VERSE 3]
C G
Sometimes a cold shiver comes over me
D G
And it turns me on when the song takes over me
C G
But alright, I can't fight if the odds are against me
D G
But I can't sit still, because I know that I will
[CHORUS 4]
G D
And you'll be watching me girl, takin' over the world
G C D C G
Let the stripes unfurl, gettin' rich singin' "Poor boy, poor boy"
G D
And I'll be comin' to play, I do it every day
G C D C G
And the title will stay, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, poor boy (Yeah)
