I'm riding young and gifted in [A] my autobiography
[C] I figured who would [G] know better than me
[E] I'm certainly the former [A] but I'm not so much the latter
[C] But no one's gonna read it [G] so I'm sure it doesn't [F#] matter
[Bm] When you find that [E] you're the former
Take [C] pride [G] in how you [D] were born
[Bm] And when you find that [E] you're the latter
Don't [A] let those people [F#] bother you
[Em] Riding sharp and addled with my [A] finger on the steer
[C] Mirror in my bathroom [G] and I'm flying
Shaving cream [Em] with woods just that
I'm the former but I'm not the latter
[A] [F] When something tells [G] me it's the opposite I'd rather
[Bm] When you find that you're the [Em] former
[C] Be [G] careful what [D] you own
[Bm] When you find that [Em] you're the latter
[E] Don't [A] shave too high
[F#] You'll regret it [Bm] later

[Em] stayed in school this long but [A] still no one will tell me why
[C] They figured who would know [G] better than I
[Em] I know I'm a conformer but I'm [A] sure it doesn't matter
[C] My new friends are all adults [G] and my old friends all have [Bm] scatters
When you find you're a [E] conformer
[C] Take pride [G] and swallow [D] a hole
If [Bm] you're trying to climb the [Em] ladder
Don't [F] let people walk [G] over you
Because [F] that's just [C] what they'll [G] do
