[Verse]
Bb
She said I’ve got two kids and a grave plot
Eb
Right next to my day job
Bb F
And my husbands grave is parallel to mine
Bb
And when we die we’ll go to heaven
Eb
Cause we spent our whole lives beggin’
Gm F Bb
For mercy from some old man in the sky
Bb
I said well doesn’t that seem silly
Eb
When theres so much left to see and do
Bb
Don’t get me wrong just be yourself
F
But darlin’ bet if I were you
Bb
I'd go on cut my loses
Eb
Burn the bills, say fuck the bosses
Gm F Bb
And live a life adventurous and new

Bb
Well I met a college student
Eb
At the library last week
Bb F
Eating adderall and crammin’ for a test
Bb
He said I’m sorry but I can’t talk right now
Eb
If I don’t get a 4.0
Gm F Bb
I’ll never get a good job like my dad
Bb
I said don’t work for your entire life
Eb
Just to save up for a coffin
Bb F
Don’t put too much stake in your grades and rank
Bb
Just realize and remember
Eb
There’s other places to travel to
Gm F Bb
Then your job, the supermarket and the bank
[Chorus]
Gm
Don’t waste your best years
Eb
Just livin’ for somebody else
Bb
Don’t waste your best years
F
Just hidden behind a desk
Gm
Don’t waste your best years
Eb
They’re the only ones you’ll ever get
Bb F Bb
So why not play life closer to the chest
