Chords with lyrics

Intro:
D MajorD

D MajorD               A augmentedA         D MajorD
At what age do I have to stop smoking?
            A augmentedA        G+G
‘Cause I think there’s a cut off,
G+G        DmDm   A augmentedA
When it stops being cool.
D MajorD     G+G       D MajorD
And you just have lung cancer.
A augmentedA
And I like wife beaters.
A augmentedA
And keg stands.
A augmentedA            G+G
And indie bands.
            A augmentedA
But I think there’s a cut off.
                D MajorD
I hope it isn’t twenty-five.

Verse 1:
G+G                    D MajorD
And I would hope that I’ll stop being poor someday.
G+G                    DmDm
‘Cause I really want a flat screen TV.
G+G                    D MajorD
Like, my friends all have flat screen TVs,
D MajorD
And I want one.
D MajorD
And an iPhone.
B minorBm    A augmentedA
And an IRA.
B minorBm      A augmentedA
What’s an IRA?
        D MajorD
I don’t know.

Verse 2:
D MajorD
Everybody’s getting married
D MajorD
And I can’t do it.
            G+G
My girlfriend wants to.
   DmDm
But I don’t want to.
G+G
‘Cause then you have babies.
  DmDm
And you don’t have one.
       G+G
You have multiple babies.
D MajorD
In succession.
    G minorGm
And babies puke.
        D MajorD
They puke almost as much

As the drunk girl my roommate brought home last night.
    G+G
And I won’t clean up puke
    D MajorD
So I can’t have babies.
B minorBm     A augmentedA
Or drunk girls.

Solo:
    B minorBm         A augmentedA      D MajorD
So I’m standing on 10th avenue.
A augmentedA            G+G
I’m standing on 10th avenue.
           A augmentedA
My toilet is dirty.
D MajorD
I’m wearing a wife-beater.
           A minorAm     G+G
I’m thinking of this other girl I met.
A augmentedA            DmDm
And I’m smoking a cigarette.

Outro:
DmDm       G+G
They say these are
      A augmentedA
The best years of your life.
DmDm
I don’t know about that.
G+G           D MajorD
Second grade was pretty good.
A augmentedA
We went to Wildwood.
G+G
Middle school was cool,
A augmentedA
I kissed girls. They were sober.
DmDm
I don’t think these are
    A augmentedA        D MajorD
The best years of your life.
G minorGm   D MajorD
These are…
D MajorD    A augmentedA
These are…
