I   -------should have known better than to try 6.2,
              C               G7         Am
That all the warnings that I heard were true,
           F          G7             C   G7   C
They were true, hey, hey, they were true!

G7          C  G7  C    G7       C           G7         C    G7
Whoa, whoa, I -------- never realized what a mess could be,
             C        G7         Am
This should not have happened to me,
       F          E7     Am
Golly gee!  Golly gee!

             F              C     E7   Am
My boss told me she wasn't happy, oh,
            F                 C         F
The system has been down for days, oh,
            G7            C Am
But when I told her I was quitting,
F          G7          C     G7    C
She had to offer me a raise.

G7      C  G7  C  G7             C              G7       C    G7
So, oh, I -------should have realized a lot of things before,
               C              G7       Am
I should have put it off 'till 6-point-4,
        F       G7            C   G7   C
6-point-4, hey, hey,  6-point-4!

So, oh, I -------should have realized a lot of things before,
               C              G7       Am
I should have put it off 'till 6-point-4,
        F       E7     Am
6-point-4, hey, hey

            F                 C    E7   Am
From now on when it's out of beta, oh,
           F            C          F
I'm gonna wait another year, oh,
          G7                C  Am
And if my boss wants me to stay,
F          G7               C   G7  C
It's gonna cost her pretty dear,
G7      C    G7   C
Pretty dear,
G7      C    G7   C
Pretty dear.
