YOUR FATHER GAVE YOU EVERYTHING
BUT IT’S NOT HIS FAULT YOU CAN’T MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN
ON YOUR OWN

YOUR LOVERS ABANDONED YOU
BUT IT’S NOT THEIR FAULT THAT YOU’RE ALL ALONE
BUT YOU’RE NOT ALONE

BUT YOU WALK AROUND WITH A CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER

THE KIDS ALL MADE FUN OF YOU
BUT IT’S NOT THEIR FAULT THAT YOU RUN AND HIDE
DON’T RUN AND HIDE

SOCIETY THEY TURNED YOU DOWN
BUT IT’S NOT THEIR FAULT THAT YOU FEEL DENIED
YOU FEEL DENIED

BUT YOU WALK AROUND WITH A CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER

(BRIDGE)
I LONG TO SWEETEN YOUR BITTERNESS AND DIFFUSE YOUR ANGER

SO MANY THEY LIED TO YOU
BUT IT’S NOT THEIR FAULT THAT YOU CAN’T BE TRUE
YOU CAN’T BE TRUE

YOUR FAMILY HID THE TRUTH
BUT IT’S NOT THEIR FAULT THAT YOU NEVER KNEW
NEVER KNEW

BUT YOU WALK AROUND....
YES YOU WALK AROUND.....WHY DO YOU WALK AROUND......................
WITH A CHIP.....................ON YOUR SHOULDER
