They said to give up, and you grow up 
     A 
That my songs make them wanna throw up 
             G 
That I'm not original 
   A           G          D 
Or catchy, or clever, or smart 

             D 
They said my guitar would sound better 
       A 
At the bottom of the Ohio river

That I should get a job 
       A        D 
At the Route 51 KMart

And sometimes I think I might agree with

And maybe I am not the same 
      A 
Thank God that I am not the same

This time next year

You're afraid to just be yourself 

D 
Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck here 
A 
Trapped in the wrong year 
        G 
Like an empty pack of cigarettes 
        A 
Like an endless bill called college debt 

    D                                 A 
And I don't know when I first started feeling so alone

Like how everyone else has a place and I simply don't

And sometimes you wake up in your 30's 
A 
Take a look around

A 
Sometimes that's alright 
G 
Sometimes those words haunt me 
A 
And cut me like a butterknife

            A 
Then you're better off alone

Or you can go make new friends at the retirement home 

D                                A 
Or you can move to Hazelwood and I will be your friend

And we can make a record in our brand new punk rock band
