[VERSE 1] (see below for guitar interlude played during verse)
        Ab
Well, I thought about the army
           Ebm
Dad said, "Son you're fucking high"
      Db                                     Ab
And I thought, yeah there's a first for everything
                         Ab
So I took my old man's advice, three sad semesters
       Ebm
It was only fifteen grand
         Db
spent in bed, I thought about the army
Ab                Db/F
I dropped out and joined a band instead

[VERSE 2]
       Ab
Grew a moustache and a mullet
      Ebm
Got a job at Chick-fil-A
      Db
Citing artistic differences
    Ab
the band broke up in May
       Fm
And in June reformed without me
         Ebm
And they got a different name
         Db
I nuked another grandma's apple pie
    Ab
And hung my head in shame, no

[CHORUS]
Ebm  Bbm  Abmaj7                 Ebm
                 Been thinking a lot today
Bbm  Abmaj7                 Ebm
            Been thinking a lot today
Bbm  Abmaj7

[BRIDGE]
Gb Db                     Ab
Oh oh, think I'll write a screenplay
Gb Db                         Ab
Oh oh, think I'll take you to A 
Gb Db                         Cm
Oh oh, think I'll get it done yesterday

[VERSE 3]
        Ab
In this time of introspection
       Ebm
On the eve of my election
   Db
I say to my reflection
           Ab
God please spare me more rejection
          Fm
'Cause my peers, they criticize me
       Ebm
And my ex-wives all despise me
       Db
Try to put it all behind me
       Ab
But my redneck past is nipping at my heels
