[Intro]~
D
D A D
At what age do I have to stop smoking..?
A G
‘Cause I think there’s a cut off,..
G Dm A
When it stops being cool!
D G D
And you just have lung cancer!
A
And I like wife beaters!
A
And keg stands!
A G
And indie bands!
A
But I think there’s a cut off!
D
I hope it isn’t twenty-five!
[Verse 1]~
G D
And I would hope that I’ll stop being poor someday!
G Dm
‘Cause I really want a flat screen TV!
G D
Like,.. my friends all have flat screen TVs,..

I don’t know!
[Verse 2]~
D
Everybody’s getting married
D
And I can’t do it!
G
My girlfriend wants to!
Dm
But I don’t want to!
G
‘Cause then you have babies!
Dm
And you don’t have one!
G
You have multiple babies!
D
In succession!
Gm
And babies puke!
D
They puke almost as much
As the drunk girl my roommate brought home last night!
G
And I won’t clean up puke
D
So I can’t have babies!
Bm A
Or drunk girls!
[Solo]~
Bm A D
So I’m standing on 10th avenue!
A G
I’m standing on 10th avenue!

My toilet is dirty!

I’m wearing a wife-beater!
Am G
I’m thinking of this other girl I met!
A Dm
And I’m smoking a cigarette!
[Outro]~
Dm G
They say these are
A
The best years of your life!
Dm
I don’t know about that!
G D
Second grade was pretty good!
A
We went to Wildwood!

Middle school was cool,..

The best years of your life!
