[Verse 1]
G C
Lucy wants to write the next great American novel
A7 C
And she can't even read the bottle
Em Gaug
She says I might be a genius
A/C# C
Well, she could be a model
G C
Didn't think I'd get in, so I didn't apply
A7
Now I'm a drunk hanger-on
C
Hittin' on the younger guy
Em Gaug
I buy booze for the Ivy League with my television salary
A/C# C
They think they look up to me, ha
[Pre-Chorus]
G C
Well, I was left like coals in leaves
A7 C
And I sparked up in winter's breeze
Em Bm C G A7
And now I know it's me who's missin' out
[Chorus]
C
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
G C
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
A7 C
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
Em Bm C G A7 C
Now I know it's me who's missin' out...
[Verse 2]
G C
But I was born with my foot in th? door
A7 C
And my mind in the gutter and my guts on the floor
Em Gaug A/C#
Holdin' th? party line....
C
Embarrassed all the time
G C
I remember my potential
A7 C
Before I skipped the fundamentals
Em Gaug A/C#
Before I ran from safety....
C
Hopin' someone would chase me
[Pre-Chorus]
G C
Well, I was left like coals in leaves
A7 C
And I sparked up in winter's breeze
Em Bm C G A7
And now I know it's me who's missin' out
[Chorus]
C
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
G C
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
A7 C
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
Em Bm C G A7 C
Now I know it's me who's missin' out...
I'm missin' out, missin' out
G C
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
A7 C
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
Em Bm C G A7 C
Now I know it's me who's missin' out...

[Bridge]
G F
I've been someone to talk about
Em Gaug D A/C#
I wanna be someone to talk to..
Em D A/C# C D Daug G
I've bitten off way more than I can spit out........
[Chorus]
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
Em Bm C G A7 C
Now I know it's me who's missin' out...

I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out,
A7 C
I'm missin' out, missin' out, missin' out
Em Bm C G A7 C
Now I know it's me who's missin' out...
