Verse 1:
A               F#m
  So if I had a dime for
           E
Every time I should've
                   D
Stopped playing guitar
And put my nose in a book
A
  Well then my head 
             F#m
would be healthy
                          E
And my guitar would be dusty
                         D
And that just might save me
From a bunch of bad songs
A                    F#m
  So maybe I'm too polite
                 E
Just like good Moses
                      D(Hold)
But just like good manners
We've had enough of them


Chorus 1:
A
Yeah yeah oh
F#m          E
yeah yeah oh yeah
D
  And now we're moving
              A

Verse 2:
A                       F#m
   Another round for my friends
                     E
I'll get paid back later
                      D
When evening turns midnight
I'll be just getting warm
A
  I know you're hot 
             F#m
and you're bothered
                         E
Now your skin's going crazy
                    D
It's one hundred degrees
And you've got a sweater on
A
  So I'd like to come off
F#m                   E
   The side of the kitchen
                       D(hold)
So when this party's ending
I'll be taking your number home


Chorus 2:

Sing In Backup of Chorus 3:

I like books better than
Movies and present tense
And I can keep up with them
Stop playing guitar
Stop playing guitar
Stop playing guitar
Stop playing guitar
Stop playing guitar
Stop playing guitar
Stop playing guitar
Stop playing guitar
