A    D A    D A    D A

[Chorus]
            A              D
Whatever you want, it isn't me
A                           E
Other people's ambitions are not my specialty
              F#m   E
Sometimes I can see,
    A                      D
From here clear to the ocean
                 A     D A
And sometimes I'm blind

[Verse]
   A        D
The 101 is a war zone
       A                             E
It's my main line, my artery, it's my way home
        F#m          E     A                D
It's the only place I have, left to write my song
   F#m                    E
One day I want to look out through the windshield,
   D
And watch you sing along

[Chorus]
            A              D
Whatever you want, it isn't me
A                           E
Other people's ambitions are not my specialty
              F#m   E
Sometimes I can see,
    A                      D
From here clear to the ocean
                 A     D A  D A
And sometimes I'm blind

[Verse]
A                D
I was a father before I was a man
A                         E
Laugh if you want, you can point if you can
                F#m  E      A              D
Everything that I do, well I do with complication
             F#m    E           D
What I sing is true, but I can't face the implication

[Chorus]
            A              D
Whatever you want, it isn't me
A                           E
Other people's ambitions are not my specialty
              F#m   E
Sometimes I can see,
    A                      D
From here clear to the ocean
                 A     D
And sometimes I'm blind
       A  D A
Yes I am

[Bridge]
D                              A
Wiper blades at the Autozone on La Cienega
Bm           A                                      F#m
101.3 is just blasting in my car, if I'd written that song,
     Bm
I'd be floating in a limousine
           D                    A
Well it's a wet day from here to Sherman Way
     D                        E
And I got to get my windshield clean...
N.C.
Anyway ... whatever you ... want ...

[Outro]
A            D
Well it isn't me
A                           E
Other people's ambitions are not my specialty
              F#m   E
Sometimes I can see,
    A                      D
From here clear to the ocean
            (F#m)    E           A                   D
Slim change I concede, oh but I'm gonna never give up hoping
              F#m   E
Sometimes I can see,
    A                      D
From here clear to the ocean
                 A     D A  D A
And sometimes I'm blind
