This version is really easy to play! It sounds fine on an acoustic guitar
but it may be boring if you don’t play it with a ‘smart’ rythm and some
hammer-on from time to time.
Verse:
——
G
I’m broke but I’m happy, I’m sore but I’m kind
I’m short but I’m healthy, yeah
I’m high but I’m grounded, I’m sane but I’m overwhelmed
I’m lost but I’m hopeful, baby
Chorus:
——
F
And what it all comes down to
C G
Is that everything’s gonna be fine, fine, fine
F
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
C C9 G
And the other one is givin’ a high five
Verse:
——
I feel drunk but I’m sober, I’m young and I’m underpaid
I’m tired’ but I’m workin’, yeah
I care but I’m restless, I’m here but I’m really gone
I’m wrong and I’m sorry, baby
Chorus:
——
And what it all comes down to
Is that ev’rything’s gonna be quite alright
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flickin’ a cigarette
(Instrumental part: play G (There it gets really boring. Ask one of
your friends to play the harmonica (Springsteen,Dylan or better, Alanis
herself) or jump to the next chorus!)
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven’t got it all figured out just yet
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is givin’ a peace sign
Verse:
——
I’m free but I’m focused, I’m green but I’m wise
I’m hard but I’m friendly, baby
I’m sad but I’m laughin’, I’m brave but I’m chickenshit
I’m sick but I’m pretty, baby
Chorus:
——
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one’s really got it figured out just yet
Well I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playin’ a piano
And what it all comes down to, my friend, yeah
Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine
Cause I got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
