Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x4): On the C lift your middle finger, or which ever is holding the E on the D string

 press the tape recorder let's get this all down real fast

 before the insignificant thought goes by

 there's one more slow song left to write for the record

make all the metal heads cry

 throw rocks but not rocking and stand there just mocking

 with hands in their armpits that they'll later smell

 when you live in the past there's one thing that will last

 it's resentment that time won't sit still

Intro x4

 the record business is fucked and it's kinda funny

 it'll separate a boy from a man

 you can buy every copy of your record with your money

 but you'd be your only fan

 if there's one thing my father said when he was younger

 to a kid with a mullet that looked like his son

 to want and to try is the difference why

 some people will walk and some run . . .thank you dad

Intro x4

 sharpen up all your pencils cause class will come early

 there's so much you thought that you knew

 while the b list celebrities all pay for the fame

 they'll soak up what's left of the pool

 while a kid in the corner becomes a savant

 no one will care til he's dead

 or he falls from his grace with it all over the place

 and a piece of it stuck in his head

Intro x4
