Well i thought about the army
          Ebm7
Dad said, son your fucking high
      Db                                    Ab
And i thought, yeah there's a first for everything

So i took my old man's advice

Three sad semesters
         Ebm7                      Db
It was only fifteen grand spent in bed
Db
I thought about the army
Ab                Fm
I dropped out and joined a band instead

Ebm  Bbm  Ab
Ebm  Bbm  Ab

        Ab
Grew a moustache and a mullet
      Ebm7
Got a job at chic-fil-a
       Db
Citing artistic differences
    Ab
The band broke up in may
       Fm
And in june reformed without me
           Ebm7
And they'd got a different name
         Db
And nuked another grandma's apple pie
    Ab              Fm
And hung my head in shame



Ebm  Bbm  Ab

                Ebm        Bbm  Ab

Been thinking a lot today
                Ebm        Bbm  Ab
Been thinking a lot today



F#  Db  Ab
Oohhhhh oh, think i'll write a screenplay
F#  Db  Ab 
Ohhhhhh oh, think i'll take it to LA
F#  Db  Ab                               Cm
Ohhhhhhh     oh, think i'll get it done yesterday



(I know it's an "F"-ish chord mainly in here, but I'm not sure.)

Ab  Ebm  Db Ab
Ab  Ebm  Db Ab
Ab  Ebm  Db Ab


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

I've been thinking a lot today
I've been thinking a lot today
I've been thinking a lot today


             Ab   Ebm9      Abmaj7
I thought about          the army...
