[Am]Lookin' back on when I

Joy the day would brin[E]g

[Verse 2]
[Am]Sneaking [D]out the back door
To [Am]hang out with those

[Am]Greeted [D]at the back door with,
[Am]"Boy

Water to[D] y[E]our eyes
Thinkin' it might [F#]stop her
From whoopin' your [D]behind

You trade yours for [F#]candy
Af[D]ter church [Am]is through

[Am]Smokin' cigar[D]ettes and
Writing something nasty on the

But while you were [F#]doin' it
You were doin [D]it, felt out[E]ta
