Unworthy
Words and Lyrics by:
Cheryl Wheeler

capo II

E...

E
I'm unworthy, and no matter what I'm doing,
                                      B
I should certainly be doing something else.

And it's selfish to be thinking I'm unworthy,
                                                 E
all this me, me, me, me, self, self, self, self, self.

If I'm talking on the phone I should be working on the lawn
                                                  A
which looks disgraceful from the things I haven't done.
       F#m
If I'm working on the lawn I should be concentrating on
                                              B
those magazines inside, since I have not read one.

         E
I should learn how to meditate and sew and bake
                                          B
and dance and paint and sail and make gazpacho.

I should turn my attention to repairing
                                             E
all those forty year old socks there in that bureau.

I should let someone teach me to run Windows,
                                                A
and learn French that I can read and write and speak.
         F#m
I should get life in prison for how I treated my parents
                            B
from third grade until last week.

         E
I should spend more time playing with my dog
                                            B
and much less money on this needless junk I buy.

I should send correspondence back to everyone
                                            E
who's written, phoned or faxed since junior high.

I should sit with a therapist until I understand
                          A
the way I felt back in my mom.
         F#m
I should quit smoking, drinking, eating, thinking
                                       B
sleeping, watching TV, writing stupid songs.

         E
I should be less impatient when the line just takes forever
                            B
'cause the two cashiers are talking.

I should see what it's like to get up really early rain or shine
                      E
and spend three hours walking.

I should know CPR and deep massage and Braille
                                       A
and sign language and how to change my oil.
         F#m
I should go where the situation's desperate
                                            B
and build and paint and trudge and tote and toil.

         E
I should chant in impossible positions
                                    B
till my legs appear to not have any bones.

I should rant at the cops and politicians
                                   E
and the corporations-in indignant tones.

I should save lots of money to leave Audubon,
                                    A
plus all the rocks and animals and plants.
         F#m
I should brave possibilities for plotting plums of problems

prob'ly blossomed, plausibly from

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
                                                E
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I'm unworthy.
