[Intro]
G,C(x4)
[1st Verse]
GI'm in bed beside some Cjail bait
GMegan's passed out on the Cstaircase
AmMichael's searchin' for a Dgood vein
AmTomorrow comes we'll do the Dsame thing
GJim got blacked out at the Ctailgate
GEmma's dressed up for the Cnew wave
AmWe're all so tired of this Ddance craze
AmWe never learn so we Djust sway
[Chorus]
And it's GloDng oCverdue
It's so GloDng oCverdue
It's just so GloDng oCverdue
Still Amfeels too soon
Still Dfeels too soon
G,C(x2)

GI read a book about The CBadlands
GSometimes this house looks like a Cdeath camp
AmAnd too much sun can be a Ddrag, man
AmThat's why we sleep as late as Dwe can
[Chorous]
And it's GloDng oCverdue
It's so GloDng oCverdue
It's just so GloDng oCverdue
Still Amfeels too soon
     (Hang those packing blanckets up)
Still Dfeels too soon
  (So morning never has to come)
[Outro]
GSpent all the Dborrowed Cmoney cause you insisted
GBuy me something Dnew and Cshiny it's almost Christmas
GAmy left the Dbathtub Crunning and we kept knocking
AmIf we can't get the door unlocked
Then DMeghan says she'll call the cops
GWill you meet me Dat the Cstation
GPromise me a Dlong Cvacation
GLayin' on a Dbeach for Chours
GLayin' on the Dbeach for Chours
