VERSE 1 (see below for guitar interlude played during verse)

          G#

Well I thought about the army

            D#m         

Dad said, "Son you're fu*king high"

        C#                                               G#

And I thought, yeah there's a first for everything

                        

So I took my old man's advice, three sad semesters

        D#m              

It was only fifteen grand 

          C#

spent in bed, I thought about the army

G#                  C#/F            

I dropped out and joined a band instead





CHORUS (piano solo)

D#m  A#m  G#maj7

D#m  A#m  G#maj7





VERSE 2 (same as verse 1 except for Fm chord)

Grew a moustache and a mullet   

Got a job at chick-fillet

Citing artistic differences 

the band broke up in May

        Fm             

And in June reformed without me

And they got a different name

I nuked another grandma's apple pie

And hung my head in shame, no



CHORUS (listen to song for the arrangement of the chords)

D#m  A#m  G#maj7

Been thinking a lot today



D#m  A#m  G#maj7

Been thinking a lot today



BRIDGE

F#  C#                       G#

Oh  Oh Think I'll write a screenplay

F#  C#                          G#

Oh  Oh Think I'll take you to LA

F#  C#                         Cm

Oh Oh  Think I'll get it done yesterday
