Chords with lyrics
G+G D MajorD
I remember when I was a young man
C majorC D MajorD
My mama took me to the store
G+G D MajorD
And I was scared out of my mind
C majorC D MajorD
As I stared at that dressing room door
G+G
I was like: "What if the pants are
D MajorD C majorC
too bright, too dark, too baggy, too tight,
D MajorD G+G
too big, wrong cut or too light
D MajorD C majorC
Mom was like: "Just be yourself, son
D MajorD
Whatever you choose will be right"
G+G D MajorD
Well, it's like she knew my very soul
C majorC D MajorD
'Cause the pants I bought that day would change my life
G+G D MajorD
I left that store with a uniform
C majorC D MajorD
That I was wearing when I met my wife
G+G D MajorD
And at my first pop-rock show
C majorC
And when I touched my first boob
D MajorD
And the first time I read Thoreau
G+G C majorC
I did it all in my t-shirt and jeans
D MajorD
That's right, it doesn't mean anything
G+G C majorC
People who know me know
D MajorD G+G
That I try not to say too much just with my clothes
D MajorD
And if you wanna get to know me, man
C majorC
We're gonna have to talk
D MajorD G+G
So that you can find out who I am
G+G D MajorD
Well, jeans are pretty great
C majorC D MajorD
They're durable and comfortable
G+G D MajorD
They're pants made out of plants
C majorC D MajorD
So it's hard to argue they're unethical
G+G D MajorD
And I sure can say a little or a lot
C majorC D MajorD
I'm a fan of unironic images of things I like
G+G D MajorD C majorC
Like giraffes or my YouTube friends or pants
D MajorD
Or chickens, Jesus, nerds or bikes
G+G D MajorD C majorC
But if you really wanna know what I love
D MajorD G+G
most about this wardrobe is that
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
It tells you very little about what lies beneath these clothes
G+G D MajorD
Just by looking at me
C majorC D MajorD
You would never know if I'm a
G+G D MajorD
Thousandaire or a billionaire
C majorC
I wanna tell you with my mouth
D MajorD
Not with the clothes I wear
G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD x 2
C majorC
I think it's odd how when we rebel
G+G
We put on uniforms
C majorC
Like eyeliner or fancy pants
D MajorD
That come factory pre-torn
C majorC
It's easy to say
That a guy must be a certain way
G+G D MajorD C majorC
Just because he dresses offbeat
G+G
And a subcultural shortcut
C majorC D MajorD
Might be what he's goin' for
G+G D MajorD C majorC
But it's always gonna be incomplete
D MajorD
Yeah, we're never gonna know what that means
Which is why I wear
G+G C majorC
T-shirt and jeans
D MajorD
That's right, it doesn't mean anything
G+G C majorC
People who know me know
D MajorD G+G
That I try not to say too much just with my clothes
D MajorD
And if you wanna get to know me, man
C majorC
We're gonna have to talk
D MajorD G+G
So that you can find out who I am
C majorC
Yeah, We're gonna have to talk
D MajorD G+G
So that you can find out who I am
Thats my first song so I hope you like it!! DFTBA! :)
