So the verse follows the first rythym figure twice, 
then the second figure for the refrain, then back to the first

                       I?m on a plain  I can?t complain 
 
The bridge is the only easy part: 
F5 (133xxx)  E5 (022xxx)  A5 (x022xx)  G5 (355xxx) 
 
Lyrics: 
I?ll start this off without any words 
I got so high [that] I scratched ?till I bled 
I love myself better than you 
I know it?s wrong so what should I do 
The finest day that I?ve ever had 
Is when I learned to cry on command 
 
I?m on a plain, I can?t complain 
 
My mother died every night 
It?s safe to say don?t quote me on that 
The black sheep got blackmailed again 
Forgot to put on the zip code 
 
Somewhere I have heard this before 
In a dream my memory has stored 
As defense I?m neutered and spayed 
What the hell am I trying to say 
 
It is now time to make it all clear 
To write off lines that don?t make sense 
One more special message to go 
And then I?m done and I can go home
