B                                                      G#
Take a breather, just relax. Put your feet up and kick back.
(A#) B                                                              G#
     Out of context - have a beer, cuz you're not seeing things too clear.

But that's okay - cuz it doesn't matter anyway.



[Chorus 1]
B      E           F#             E
You're missing the point. (and it doesn't matter anyway)
B    E            F#               E
Convoluted and disjointed. (and it doesn't matter anyway)
B                              G#
We'll be drinking vodka, gin & tonic, and beer,
          E                      F#
And we're always having fun everytime that we're here.
       B                                 G#
If you think we've grown up then you can go and think again.
E                            F#
Maturity is great, but we're not that kind of band.

Just a little bit off-key.  It doesn't matter - it sounds alright to me.
B                                                               G#      G#  F#  (E)
And if it doesn't, I don't care.  That's why the Jägermeister's there.
