[Intro]
C Am/C C Am/C
Dm Em F G

[Verse 1]
C            Am/C               C
Patrick, you see, I'm growing a mustache
    Am/C            Dm        G           
And though I know I must ask you
               F                   G
Does it really make me look like a man?
C          Am/C                C
SpongeBob, being a manager's a tough job
  Am/C                              Dm                        G
I hope you're picked, you'll be the best sponge-boss they've had
               F                    G
Working like a dog at the Krusty Krab

[Pre-Chorus]

Now wait a minute

                 R1
I think we hit a wall
                 R1
I think we hit a psychic wall

[Chorus]
C                             Fmaj7
Maybe we're just young and we won't know 'til we're old
C                                     Fmaj7
Too young to free ourselves from this lonely fish bowl

             R1
Some kind of wall
             R1
Some kind of psychic wall

             R1
Some kind of wall
             R1
Some kind of psychic wall

We can't get around

[Solo]
C Am/C C Am/C
Dm F G

[Verse 2]
C        Am/C                   C
Come on, let's find a way to be happy
Am/C                       Dm           G            
Not like Plankton, he will never be satisfied
          F                  R1
Always complaining about his life

[Pre-Chorus]
          R1
To his computer wife
                      R1
You think he would've found by now
      R1
To be thought of as a king

You don't need a crown

[Outro]
