VERSE 1 (see below for guitar interlude played during verse)
          G#Well (xx1114@1)I thought about the army
            D#m (xx4342@1)       
Dad said, "Son you're fucking high"
        C# (x43121@1)                                             G#And (xx1114@1)I thought, yeah there's a first for everything
                        
So I took my old man's advice, three sad semesters
        D#m (xx4342@1)            
It was only fifteen grand 
          C#spent (x43121@1)in bed, I thought about the army
G# (xx1114@1)                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 (133111@1)           
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

VERSE 3 (same chords as previous verse)
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

CHORUS (same as previous chorus)
