E
Nice guys finish last
You're running out of gas
      B
Your sympathy will get
            E   A
you left behind
E
Sometimes you're at your
best when you feel the worst
        B
Do you feel washed up
                           E
like piss going down the drain

  A
Pressure cooker pick my brain
     E
and tell me I'm insane
A                              E
I'm so fucking happy I could cry
A
Every joke can have its truth
     E
and now the joke's on you
   F#
I never knew you were
              B
such a funny guy

Chorus:
    E                A
Oh nice guys finish last
      E              A
when you are the outcast
           E               A
Don't pat yourself on the back
                       B
you might break your spine

Living on command
You're shaking lots of hands
You're kissing up and bleeding
all your trust
Taking what you need
Bite the hand that feeds
You lose your memory and
you got no shame

Pressure cooker, pick my brain,
and tell me I'm insane
I'm so fucking happy I could cry
Every joke can have its truth,
but now the joke's on you
I never knew you were
such a funny guy
