Capo 3
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
She said I’ve got two Gkids and a grave plot
Right Cnext to my day job
And my Ghusbands grave is parallel to Dmine
And when we Gdie we’ll go to heaven
Cause we Cspent our whole lives beggin’
For Emmercy from some Dold man in the Gsky
I said well Gdoesn’t that seem silly
When theres Cso much left to see and do
Don’t gGet me wrong just be yourself
But Ddarlin’ bet if I were you
I'd Ggo on cut my loses
Burn the Cbills, say fuck the bosses
And lEmive a life advenDturous and Gnew
[Bridge]
G C G D
G C Em D G
[Verse]
Well I Gmet a college student
At the Clibrary last week
Eating Gadderall and crammin’ for a Dtest
He said GI’m sorry but I can’t talk right now
If CI don’t get a 4.0
I’ll Emnever get a gDood job like my Gdad
I said don’t Gwork for your entire life
Just to Csave up for a coffin
Don’t Gput too much stake in your grades and Drank
Just Grealize and remember
There’Cs other places to travel to
Then your Emjob, the superDmarket and the Gbank
[Chorus]
EmDon’t waste your best years
Just Clivin’ for somebody else
GDon’t waste your best years
Just Dhidden behind a desk
EmDon’t waste your best years
They’re the Conly ones you’ll ever get
So Gwhy not play life Dcloser to the Gchest
[Outro]

Capo 3

[Intro]

She said I’ve got two kids and a grave plot

Right next to my day job

G D

And my husbands grave is parallel to mine

And when we die we’ll go to heaven

Cause we spent our whole lives beggin’

Em D G

For mercy from some old man in the sky

I said well doesn’t that seem silly

When theres so much left to see and do

Don’t get me wrong just be yourself

But darlin’ bet if I were you

I'd go on cut my loses

Burn the bills, say fuck the bosses

Em D G

And live a life adventurous and new

[Verse]

Well I met a college student

At the library last week

G D

Eating adderall and crammin’ for a test

He said I’m sorry but I can’t talk right now

If I don’t get a 4.0

Em D G

I’ll never get a good job like my dad

I said don’t work for your entire life

Just to save up for a coffin

G D

Don’t put too much stake in your grades and rank

Just realize and remember

There’s other places to travel to

Em D G

Then your job, the supermarket and the bank

[Chorus]

Don’t waste your best years

Just livin’ for somebody else

Don’t waste your best years

Just hidden behind a desk

Don’t waste your best years

They’re the only ones you’ll ever get

G D G

So why not play life closer to the chest

[Outro]
