Bill Collectors Theme Song

	  		
 


Intro 

F Fsus2 F D7sus2 C Csus2 C C Csus2 (2x) 

verse 1 
F                        Fsus2    F                Fsus2 
When I was just a little kid they told me to dream big  
            C 
you can do anything  
            Csus2     C               Csus2 
when I got older they told me to stop dreaming  
      F          Fsus2               F             Fsus2 
start being more realistic, make the coffee do the dishes  
            C               Csus2           C      Csus2 
but I can't seem to keep my head out of the clouds  
      F                  Fsus2 
cause whats the point of living life  
     F          Fsus2 
to work until I die  
              C            Csus2             C   Csus2 
That can't be it and if it is then I want out  
    F          Fsus2       F                Fsus2 
and honestly I never had a dream of getting older 
           C             Csus2         C              Csus2  
but here I am what can I do about it, tell me what to do about it now 

Bridge 
      Am7                  D7sus2                        C                  Csus2        C             Cadd2/E 
Cause I never wanted to be every single stereotype of a white middle class 20-something pissed at the economy 
Am7                     D7sus2                     E                  Am            Fsus2             
I never meant to be the epitome of a quarter life crisis and being a junkie didn't live up to the hype  

Solo 
During the mandolin solo the guitar plays through the intro again: 
F Fsus2 F D7sus2 C Csus2 C C Csus2 (2x) 

verse 2 
     F                   Fsus2    F             Fsus2     
When I was just a little kid they told me I was special 
            C                  Csus2             C            Csus2  
Then I grew up and found out they told that to every single one of us  
    F               Fsus2         F             Fsus2 
get addicted to our drugs then go away to universities  
            C                    Csus2             C    Csus2  
where we'll sell you dreams then make you work for free  
     F            Fsus2         F               Fsus2 
They handed us an economy thats destined us for poverty  
     C                 Csus2            C        Csus2 
then have the nerve to call us soft and lazy for complaining  
              F           Fsus            F                 Fsus2 
cause they're from a generation where you could be what you wanted to be 
    C          Csus2          C              C          F  
but baby I'm a 90's kid, only 90's kids will understand this  

Chorus 

Listen to song for strumming pattern as it changes here. I'm also doing a lot of blank percussive 
noises in between the chords 

(hits) 
F x3 C x3 E x3 Am x3  
F x3 C x3 E x3 Am x3  

    F               C             E        Am      Am7 
got bill collectors calling us to pay back student loans  
    F               C             E     Am        Am7 
but they can't ever find us if we throw away our phones  

(Palm muted) 
     F             C                 E     Am      Am7 
then we can sit in diners, drinking coffee smoking cigarettes outside 
F            C                    E          Am        Am7      
look in each others' eyes without cell phone lights to hide behind and  

(hits) 
F                C                 E          Am        Am7  
we can just kick off our shoes and make these sidewalks home  
F                     C                       E     Am   Am7 
we'll write songs and sing for food and we'll never be alone  
(strummed) 
          F               C              E          Am         Am7 
never be alone, never be alone, never be alone when we're with friends  

Outro 
          F         Fsus2   F      Fsus2  
and we'll never owe shit to anyone else  
          F        Fsus2    F      Fsus2 
no we'll never owe shit to anyone else  
          F        Fsus2    F      Fsus2 
no we'll never owe shit to anyone else  
           F        Fsus2    F       
no we'll never owe shit to anyone
