[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
