The Bucket- Kings of Leon
[Verse 1]
DI'll be the one to show you the way
AYou'll be the one to always complain
G3 in the morning come a bang, bang, bang
GAll out of fags and I just can't wait
DCancel the thing that I said I'd do
AI don't feel comfortable talking to you
GUnless you got the zipper fixed on my shoe
GThen I'll be in the lobby drinking for two
[Chorus]
GEighteen, ABalding, DStars.
GGolden, FAallen, DHeart
[Verse 2]
DLook at the shaky's what's with the blush
AFresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush
GEveryone's gathered to idolize me
GI hate the way you talk your Japanese scream
DIt's been too long since I left the shed
AYou kick the bucket an' I'll swing my legs 
GAlways remember the pact that we made
GToo young to die, but old is a grave. 
[Chorus]
GEighteen, ABalding, DStars.
GGolden, FAallen, DHeart
[Outro]
DI'm a gonna show the way
AI'm a gonna show the way
GI'm a gonna show the way
GI'm a gonna show the way
GEighteen, ABalding, DStars.

The Bucket- Kings of Leon

[Verse 1]

I'll be the one to show you the way

You'll be the one to always complain

3 in the morning come a bang, bang, bang

All out of fags and I just can't wait

Cancel the thing that I said I'd do

I don't feel comfortable talking to you

Unless you got the zipper fixed on my shoe

Then I'll be in the lobby drinking for two

[Chorus]

G A D

Eighteen, Balding, Stars.

G A D

Golden, Fallen, Heart

[Verse 2]

Look at the shaky's what's with the blush

Fresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush

Everyone's gathered to idolize me

I hate the way you talk your Japanese scream

It's been too long since I left the shed

You kick the bucket an' I'll swing my legs

Always remember the pact that we made

Too young to die, but old is a grave.

[Chorus]

G A D

Eighteen, Balding, Stars.

Golden, Fallen, Heart

[Outro]

I'm a gonna show the way

G A D

Eighteen, Balding, Stars.
