Fake Problems – “Born & Raised”
1st Verse – no guitar, drums only
On April 29th, 1980-something, I was born to a new proud mother.
She said she would always care for me 'til the day she died, and
C Dm F G
she'd never let anyone ruin my life but they sure try.
Subsequent verses:
C Am F G
The day that I turned 18 my grandfather told me, he said
C Am F G
"Chris, I think you should join the army".
C Am F G
I said I don't really think that I'm cut out for that,
C Am F G
no I'm fairly certain I wouldn't last.
C Am F G C
But I do agree the benefits are quite astounding, but I know that
Am F G (G7) **
I would throw up if saw someone dying.
Chorus – same, but louder
C Am F G C Am F G
But if I went I would make the best of ev-ery moment,
C Am F G C Am
and show respect to my commanding officer and come home with a
F G C Dm F G
medal or something cool like that.
Just a few months ago my best friend inquired, he said
"Do you think you'll ever go back to college?" I said yeah, sure,
eventually when the time is right, when I find a university I kinda like.
Because I do agree the experience is quite enticing, if I don't get
too distracted by all the drinking.
But if I went I would make the best of every moment, and pay
attention to the teacher and come home with some knowledge or
something great like that.
** I like to add in the G7 cause it sounds good, but not required
