[Verse]
                      G
She said I’ve got two kids and a grave plot
      C
Right next to my day job
       G                            D
And my husbands grave is parallel to mine
            G
And when we die we’ll go to heaven
         C
Cause we spent our whole lives beggin’
    Em              D             G
For mercy from some old man in the sky

            G
I said well doesn’t that seem silly
            C
When theres so much left to see and do
       G
Don’t get me wrong just be yourself
    D
But darlin’ bet if I were you
    G
I'd go on cut my loses
         C
Burn the bills, say fuck the bosses
     Em              D          G
And live a life adventurous and new

[Verse]
       G
Well I met a college student
       C
At the library last week
       G                          D
Eating adderall and crammin’ for a test
        G
He said I’m sorry but I can’t talk right now
   C
If I don’t get a 4.0
     Em           D               G
I’ll never get a good job like my dad

             G
I said don’t work for your entire life
        C
Just to save up for a coffin
      G                                    D
Don’t put too much stake in your grades and rank
     G
Just realize and remember
      C
There’s other places to travel to
          Em            D              G
Then your job, the supermarket and the bank

[Chorus]
Em
Don’t waste your best years
     C
Just livin’ for somebody else
G
Don’t waste your best years
     D
Just hidden behind a desk
Em
Don’t waste your best years
            C
They’re the only ones you’ll ever get
   G                 D             G
So why not play life closer to the chest
