Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, I thought about the army
Dad said, "Son,
[Dm]you're fucking high"
And I [C]thought, "Yeah,
there's a first for everything"
[G]So I took my old man's advice
Three sad semesters
It was [Dm]only $15,000 spent in [C]bed
I thought about the army
[G]I dropped out and j[Em]oined a band in
[Dm]stead

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][Dm][Am][G]

[Verse 2]
Grew a [G]mustache and a mullet
Got a [Dm]job at Chick- Fil- A
[C]Citing artistic differences
The [G]band broke up in May
And in [Em]Jun e, reformed without me
And they [Dm]got a different name
I nuked an[C]other Grandma's apple pie
And hun[G]g my head [Em]in shame,
no
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Been thinking [Dm]a lot [Am]today[G]
Been thinking [Dm]a lot [Am]today[G][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[F]Oh, [C]think I'll write a screenplay
[Em]Oh,[Dm][F]
[C]think I'll take you to L.A[Dm][C]
[F]Oh, [C]think I'll get it done
[G]yester[Em] day[B]

[Interlude 2]
Aw, shit
[B][Em][B][Em][B]
[A][Dm][G]
[C][Dm][A][C][Dm][E][Em][G]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]In[C][G][Em][G][Em][G]
[Dm][C][G]
[Dm][C]
[G]this time of introspection
On [Dm]the eve of my election
I [C]say to my reflection
"God, please [G]spare me
more rejection"
'Cause my [Em]peers, they criticize me
And my [Dm]ex- wives all despise me
Try [C]to put it all behind me
But my red[G]neck past is [Em]nipping
[Dm]at my [Am]heels[G]

[Verse 6]
Thinking [Dm]a lot [Am]today[G]
Been thinking [Dm]a lot [Am]today[G]
Been thinking [Dm]a lot [Am]today[G]
I thought [Dm]about [Am]the army[G]
