Verse 1
Well It SGm9tumbles And It Falls Off Of Almost Every Tongue
Give A Cm7Listen And You'll Hear
It's Gm9Workin' Like A Landmine In Almost Every Sentence
It's An AsCm7sault To My Mind's Ear
Yeah It GmMight Have Started Back With Jack Kerouac
Probably More Than Cm7Likely It Was Maynard G. Krebs
It's The Gm94 Letter Word That Used To Mean 'As If'
And The Cm7Meaning's Covered In Cobwebs Gm9       Cm7​

Verse 2
Used To Gm9Be A Preposition Then It Was A Conjunction
Now It's Cm7Used As An Audible Pause
Oh I Gm9Hate It When I Hear It Especially When I See It
Gotta SCm7tamp It Out There Ought To Be Some Laws
College Gm9Boys Valley Girls Mall Rats Grandmammas
EveryCm7body's Mis-Usin' That Word
I Gm9Heard It Four Times In One Poor Little Sentence
It Was The Cm7Saddest Sound I Ever Have Heard

Bridge
F I Suppose You Could Blame It On MyA# Generation
Chickens CFrom The 60S Finally Comin' Into FRoostC​
F I've Been Sayin' It Myself For Over A#30 Years Now
C Just To Give My Cool Quota Just A Little FBitty Kind Of A Boost
Gm But When I Hear It,A# I Can't Stand It
C Especially Coming Out Of The Mouths Of One Of My FOwn KidsC​
F It's Been Taught And God,A# What Have We Wrought?
C Give A Listen Here, What Do We Dig?F     Cm7​

Verse 3
Gm9I Prefer Ah Or Er
Cm7You Can Rest Assured
If You're Gm9Sayin' What You Mean Then It Don't Mean A Thing
It's Just An Cm7Ugly Little 4 Letter Word
Doesn't Gm9Anybody Care Or Am I The Only One?
Am I Just SCm7tuck Back In Some Kind Of A Past?
Gm9Maybe It's Harmless But It Feels Like A Virus
And It Cm7Sounds Like It's Catchin' On Fast
