[G] I woke up and [D] I drove to work on [Bm] the wrong [Em] side of [Bm] the road.
[C] What the hell [G] would I do?
I must [D] admit, I didn't know.
[C] And Andrew came [G] along, y'all, to [Em] add a couple [G] lines or so.
I've got [G] one I finished [Bm] yesterday, and [G] I've got 3.6 to go.
[D] [G] One down [Em] and 3.6 [C] tomorrow, and [Cm] I'm [G]
[Em] [G]
[Cm] out [G] of here.
[Bm] [G]
[D] [G] People tell me, Ben, just make [Bm] up junk and turn it in.
[C] But I never was alright [D] with turning in a bunch of shit.
[C] I don't like [G] wasting time on [Em] music that won't [G] make [C] me proud.
But [G] now I've found [Bm] a reason to sit [C] right down and shit [G] some out.

[D] [G] I'm really not complaining.
I [Bm] realize it's just a job.
[C] And I ain't here [G] in Valley [D] aching rock stars whining sob.
[C] I could be [G] bussing tables.
I [Em] could well be pumping [C] gas.
[G] But I get paid [Bm] much finer for playing [C] piano and kissing [G] ass.
This is what I wrote [Bm] just an hour ago, [C] and 3.6 [G] it lasts.
[D]
[G] One down [Em] and 3 .6 [C] tomorrow, and [Cm] I'm out of [G] here.
One down [Em] and 3 [D].6
