2 Percent Vim

Pondering power and restraint

          B
Well, it's two per cent vim

and ten per cent vigor
           E
when you gotta go up against
                   B
somebody bigger'n' you

but you do it when you gotta
              Gb
if you got no choice.

B
Half the time you'll find that

as a matter of fact
             E
it's not how big you really are

but how big you act;
        B                                    Gb
you can beat 'em with both hands behind your back
                    B
if you can use your voice.

          Gb
  Keep in mind what Will or was it Roy Rogers might've said
         B
  Doncha argue with a fellah with a foolish head
             Abm                    F
  'Cause the onlooker can't rightly tell
                         Gb7
     Which of you is the fool

             B
Well now I'm goin' on record

as a pacifist
          E
but I'm a hot-tempered guy

and it's hard to resist
         B
throwin' punches when a fellah
                        Gb
is punchin' my eyeballs in.

  B
I realize there's times

when y'gotta fight
          E
but let's make it not here

not with me not tonight;
         B
it's not fightin' that I mind
            Gb
it's just a stupid waste of time
     B
is a sin.
