Chorus:
E         F#m
Bummerland, here I am
A       G#
Better nix my summer plans
C#m        E
Bummerland, give a cheer
A
'Cause you're only going up from here

C#m        E                A
This month I got seven haircuts
    F#m            E      B C#m B A F#m
And now my hair is all gone
     C#m           E              A
It's sad but I've been alone for too long
   F#m             E     B C#m B
So I keep getting haircuts

      A
It's my all time low
       F#m          E B C#m B
And I just can't wait
            A
'Cause the quicker I'm there
        F#m
Is the quicker I'll say

Chorus:
E         F#m
Bummerland, here I am
A      G#
Better nix my summer plans
C#m       E
Bummerland, give a cheer
A
'Cause you're only going up from here
E        F#m
Bummerland, here I am
A       G#
Better nix my summer plans
C#m      E
Bummerland, sorry dear
A         F#m                  E
But you're only going up from here

My friends always pay for my drinks
I can't afford no nice things
But I hope my bank account gets so low
Even zero
So next year
When I buy that first beer
I'll be a goddamn hero

It's my all time low
And I just can't wait
'Cause the quicker I'm there
Is the quicker I'll say

Chorus:
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Sorry dear
But you're only going up from here

E
Daa da-da da
E
Daa da-da da
F#m
Daa da-da da
('Cause you're only going up from here)
F#m
Daa da-da da...

E
It's my all time low
And I just can't wait
F#m
'Cause the quicker I'm there
Is the quicker I'll say

Chorus:
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Give a cheer
'Cause you're only going up from here
Bummerland
Here I am
And there ain't no funner land
Bummerland
It's kinda weird
But you're only going up from here
