Em
Found some money in an old black jacket
                                                  C
I'm going out tonight, gonna find me a woman or two
          Em
I don't know how long it'll last
But I never regret the past
        Am                        G                 D/F#
When I wake up tomorrow, I'll be looking around for you

I got no reason to be down at the station
I got no ticket, but I'm gonna take a fucking ride
Don't care where I go
I never seem to know
I never had a penny, but I never wondered why
Oh no, I never wondered why

C  G/B    Am    B         Em
Oh no, I never wondered why
Em      C                Em
If I'm cold I need some heat
Em      C             Em
If I'm hungry then I eat

Chorus:
Em          C       Am C D
I'm not responsible

I woke up this morning and I couldn't find my shoes
It's one long party and I haven't seen the sun for days
I'd take you out tonight
But I'm just a little light
So let's go out anyway, you'll be amazed

I take my woman to the palace dancing
I never could have made it but the doorman is a friend of mine
So I raise a glass to you
The foot is on the other shoe
You can pay the bill and while you're at it pick up mine
Oh, no no, I don't mind

Oh, no, no, I don't mind
If it rains I stay inside
If I'm scared I run and hide

Chorus

If I'm cold I need some heat
If I'm hungry then I eat

Em          C      Am C D
I'm not responsible
            Em
I'm not responsible
C           Em
Oh, don’t shout, shout
Em
No,
    C   Em
Nooooooooo
C  A          C      D
   I'm not responsible
Em             C
   I'm not responsible
Em        C             Em
   I'm not  I’m not responsible,
Em            C A C D
Na, na, na, na
