[Intro]

C  G  D  G

[Verse 1]

G               C      G
Hope this album does okay
                            Am G  Em
'Cause all I really want to do is play
C                              G
But for now I'll pound another nail
C  G     D  G
Oh yeah, oh well

[Verse 2]

G                C          G
Trying to buy my childhood home
                              Am G Em
Born and raised, but I can't get a loan
C                               G
Buying a piece of heaven can be hell
C  G     D  G
Oh yeah, oh well

[Chorus]

C                                  G
Just when you think you've hit the hammer on the nail
D                D7           G
Check is in the mail and the wind is in your sail
C                                 G
That's when you find you've got a tiger by the tail
Am  D7   C   D
Oh yeah, oh well

[Verse 3]

G                C        G
Bought a dog looks like a mouse
                         Am  G   Em
Likes to do her business in the house
   C                                       G
I think she knows it's wrong, it's hard to tell
C  G     D  G
Oh yeah, oh well

[Chorus]

C                                  G
Just when you think you've hit the hammer on the nail
D                D7           G
Check is in the mail and the wind is in your sail
C                                 G
That's when you find you've got a tiger by the tail
Am  D7   C   D
Oh yeah, oh well

[Verse 4]

G                   C        G
I've been trying to write my verse
                             Am  G   Em
The more I try, the more it just gets worse
   C                                        G
If words were food, this verse would really smell
C  G     D  G
Oh yeah, oh well
C  G     D  G    G
Oh yeah, oh well
