Standard Tuning EADGBe 

[Intro] 
 

[Verse 1] 
              
That's how it 

             
starts....we g

              
o back to your

  
 house
              
You check the 

             
charts....and 

              
start to figur

  
e it out
              
And if it's cr

             
owded all the 

              
better, becaus

              
e we know we'r

              
e gonna be up 

 
late
              
But if you're 

             
worried about 

              
the weather, t

              
hen you picked

              
 the wrong pla

      
ce to stay
              
That's how it 

 
starts.......

[Verse 2]
             
And so it star

              
ts....you swit

              
ch the engine 


on
             
We set control

              
s for the hear

              
t of the sun, 

              
one of the way

              
s we show our 


age
             
And if the sun

              
 comes up, if 

              
the sun comes 

              
up, if the sun

              
 comes up, and

              
 I still don't

              
 wanna stagger

 
 home
              
Then it's the 

             
memory of our 

              
betters, that 

              
are keeping us

        
 on our feet

[Chorus 1] 
              
You spent the 

             
first 5 years 

              
trying to get 

              
with the plan 

              
& the next

              
 5 years tryin

              
 to be with yo

        
ur friends aga

in
              
You're talking

             
 45 turns just

              
 as fast as yo

              
u can, yeah I 

              
know it gets t

              
ired but it's 

              
better when we

    
 pretend

[Verse 3]
             
It comes apart

              
....the way it

              
 does in bad f


ilms
             
Except the par

              
t....where the

             
 moral kicks i

n
              
And when we're

             
 running out o

              
f the drugs, a

              
nd the convers

              
ation's grindi

    
ng away
             
I wouldn't tra

              
de one stupid 

              
decision, for 

              
another 5 year

      
s of life, oh

[Chorus 2]
              
You drop the f

             
irst 10 years 

              
just as fast a

              
s you can, and

              
 the next 10 p

              
eople who are 

              
trying to be p

  
olite
              
When you're bl

             
owing 85 days 

              
in the middle 

              
of France, I k

red only where

[Verse 4] 
              
And to tell th

             
e truth....oh,

              
 this could be

     
 the last time
             
So here we go.

              
...like a sale

              
s force into t

    
he night
             
And if I made 

              
a fool, if I m

              
ade a fool, if

              
 I made a fool

              
 on the road, 

              
there's always

  
 this
             
And if I'm sew

              
n into submiss

              
ion, I can sti

[Chorus 3] 
             
And with a fac

              
e like a dad a

              
nd a laughable

Oh, if the tri
