Tuned 1/2 step down

Verse 1:
D
Chess is such a difficult game
Bm A D
So many pieces
D
So many squares where you can go
Bm A D
So few promises

PreChorus 1:
G D
Never you mind all the others
G D
Anticipating your next move
G
I know it's hard
A
'Cause you've got a lot to do

Verse 2:
Street signs and traffic lights
Ever confusing the issue
Stoplight, go right, no U-Turn
Where's the goddamn exit?

PreChorus 2:
Never you mind all the others
Influencing your next move
I know it's hard
But you've got a lot to do

Chorus:
F Bb
La la la la la laa
C F F6
La la la la la laa
F Bb
La la la la la laa
C F F6
La la la la la laa

Verse 3:
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Pieces lie right before you
This puzzle can't be done wrong
So come on while you can

PreChorus 3:
Never you mind all the others
Anticipating your next move
Never you mind all the others
Never you mind what they do

Bridge:
Em A
Don't let them get you down
F#m Bm
'Cause if they do
Em A F#m Bm
You'll be trapped forever under their shoe
Em A F#m
Here is a paintbrush so go
G
I know it's hard
A
'Cause you've got a lot to do

Chorus: x2

End on D

Rivers recorded a bunch of demos of it (~1993), but it was never finished.

you ever notice how it is easier to play chess if you're not actually playing, just watching and yelling advice at the people who are trying to concentrate? i think that that is what this song is saying: you're trying to figure out what to do and everyone else says that they can see the solution, you just have to ignore all this and do what you think is right.

I think this song is obviously about life and you shouldnt care about what people think about you
