Am7                  G/B  C  G/B Am7           G/B   C G/B  
Drink beer with the guys        and chase after girls

              G/B   C G/B Am7                  G/B   C   G/B   Am7

When you lose the one you wanted cause he taken you for granted

Am7        G/B  C  G/B Am7                 G/B         C   G/B  
I put myself first        and make the rules as I go
