It's time to be a standard working man

No stress about what other people think
Am                  D
No ticket sales, no critics

Or spotify statistics

In the family business making food
(Making food at Wong's)
      Am                      D
I poured my heart out in these songs

I'm getting off the road and getting a real job

Now my friends have always said:
        F                  Ddim
"This is all just in your head
    C               F
Now get out of your bed (This is your)
      C               F
Don't read the comment threads (This is your)
     C           F
Go write a song instead (This is your)
             Ddim C
This is your real job"

C            C+             Am         C+
I was never meant to have a real job
     C               F                  G
This passion's burned inside since I was twelve
      Am           D
Now I may not be the best
     Dm              F
But I know that I can rest
        C                   F          Ddim C
Knowing today that I don't ever need a real job
