C majorC             FF     C majorC
Believe it or not I treat it like a job

C majorC               FF    C majorC
Believe it or not I treat it just like that
               FF      C majorC
Everybody writes songs every day of their lives
               FF      C majorC
But most don’t know what to do with the lines
 C/BC/B   A minorAm              G+G     FF
  Treat em like strange things in a lost and found
   C majorC            FF     C majorC
The difference with me is I write mine down

♫ Chorus:
   FF         C majorC        G+G         A minorAm    G+G
The front side of this old guitar's seen more backsides on stools in bars
 FF        C majorC         G+G
Trying to write something make em turn around
FF        C majorC        G+G
Try and make em laugh try and be profound
FF            C majorC       G+G       A minorAm    G+G
And all the skills that I’ve aquired qualify me for changing tires
FF           C majorC          G+G
Changing strings and watching the sun come up
  FF        C majorC       G+G
As for the last I think I’ve had enough
      A minorAm       G+G      FF          C majorC
But when it comes to this job the most important thing I’ve learned

Is how to get drunk and not forget the words

and all the crazy things that happen after the show
  A minorAm          G+G     FF     C majorC         FF       C majorC
somewhere, somehow this myth got around that all we ever do is party with the crowd
    FF              C majorC        G+G          A minorAm   G+G
But if you could just picture for a second for me a movie theatre full of empty seats
     FF        C majorC         G+G
And the credits roll and one guy’s picking up trash
 FF      C majorC            G+G
A augmentedA lot of the time it looks a lot like that
A minorAm          G+G
It aint romantic it’s pretty damn rough

Reciting poetry to a bunch of drunks

  G+G         A minorAm     G+G
Tell stories about the songs we wrote
   FF        C majorC        G+G
And between we take shots, smokes and beers

Keep in mind this goes on for years
FF          C majorC
You only get good by going too far
   G+G          A minorAm    G+G
Keep track of where in the song you are
FF          C majorC          G+G
And try to ride the line as close as you can
 FF     C majorC          G+G
What I’m trying to make you understand is
