[Verse 1]
---------------------
G7
  Throwing candy out to the crowd
    C             D
Dragging down the main
    G7
The helpless little thing with the dirty mouth
        C                     F
Who's always got something to say
G7                                      C                       D
  You're sitting around at home now waiting for your brother to call
Dm7          G7                Fm            G7
   I saw him down in the alley,  having had enough of it all

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
               C                       Am
Said, "You can do what you want to whenever you want to
Fm Dm7-5 Fm G7        C                            Am
              You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you"
Fm | Dm7 | Fm | G7 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G7                                       C               D
  All spit and spite, you're up all night and down every day
G7                                           C                F
  A tired man with only hours to go just waiting to be taken away
G7                                      C            D
  Getting into the back of a car for candy from some stranger
Dm7               G7                 Fm           G7
   Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
         C                       Am
"You can do what you want to whenever you want to
Fm Dm7-5 Fm G7        C                            Am
              You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you"

[Bridge]
---------------------
Fm Dm7 Fm G7             C                       Am
            Now, you can do what you want to whenever you want to
C                       Am
Do what you want to whenever you want to
G7                      E
Do what you want to whenever you want to
      Am                       D
Though  it doesn't mean a thing
F           Fm
 Big nothing
