D MajorD                     G+G
I never was a straight lace, straight-A student
      A augmentedA        D MajorD
Teacher's pet or child prodigy
                  G+G
I wasn't gonna get rich throwin' a football
        A augmentedA       G+G    D MajorD
It'd take too long to get a law degree
               G+G
So I sat down with mama and daddy
             A augmentedA         E minorEm
They tried to talk some sense into my big head
     D MajorD         G+G          A augmentedA       G+G   D MajorD
But the best advice that I ever got was from my sister's rock star boyfriend

   A augmentedA    G+G      D MajorD
Just get your guitar and learn how to play
 A augmentedA      G+G   D MajorD
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name

And all those girls that were too cool to talk to
       A augmentedA           B minorBm
They'll be waitin' in the line out back
        D MajorD             G+G
Might get your picture in your hometown paper
        A augmentedA     G+G   D MajorD
Maybe buy your mama that Cadillac

CHORUS:
D MajorD   A augmentedA    G+G     D MajorD

A augmentedA      G+G   D MajorD
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name

When you're livin' in a world that you don't understand
    D MajorD
Find a few good buddies

Start a band, start a band scrape up some money
     A augmentedA    D MajorD     G+G  A augmentedA

With a little bit of luck you'll be packin' the stands       it stops)
