[Intro]

G G Am D
G G Am D

[Verse 1]
 Bm                    C/G
Maybe your jacket is a hand-me down
 Bm                           C/G
Maybe you slept with half of your hometown
 Bm                          C/G         D
In a world of squares maybe you're just round


[Chorus]
          G   Am   D             G
You can't be everybody's cup of tea
Am            D                 Em
Some like the bitter, some the sweet
          Bm
Nobody's everybody's favorite,
        C/G                Em7              Am
So you might as well just make it how you please
D         G    Am   D             G  Am D
You can't be, everybody's cup of tea


[Verse 2]
 Bm                        C/G
Maybe you're working at a hotel bar
 Bm                              C/G
Maybe you're still driving your high school car
 Bm                             C/G      D
Maybe you still don't know just who you are


[Chorus]

          G   Am   D             G
You can't be everybody's cup of tea
Am            D                 Em
Some like the bitter, some the sweet
          Bm
Nobody's everybody's favorite,
        C/G                Em7              Am
So you might as well just make it how you please
D         G    Am   D             G  Am D
You can't be, everybody's cup of tea


[Bridge]
  G
Maybe you married the wrong person first
 Am
Maybe your hair's way too long
 Bm
Your sister's in jail
                            C/G
Or maybe you failed out of college

But, hey, life goes on
       Am                    G
We've all got the right to be wrong

[Interlude]

[Chorus 2]

          G   Am   D             G
You can't be everybody's cup of tea
Am             D                  Em
Some like it black, some like it green
          Bm
Nobody's everybody's favorite,
        C/G                Em7              Am
So you might as well just make it how you please
D         G    Am   D             G  Am D
You can't be, everybody's cup of tea


[Chorus]

          G   Am   D             G
You can't be everybody's cup of tea
Am            D                 Em
Some like the bitter, some the sweet
          Bm
Nobody's everybody's favorite,
        C/G                Em7              Am
So you might as well just make it how you please
D         G    Am   D             G
You can't be, everybody's cup of tea

 Am            D
Why would you want to be?
