D                     G
I never was a straight lace, straight-A student
      A        D
Teacher's pet or child prodigy
                  G
I wasn't gonna get rich throwin' a football
        A       G    D
It'd take too long to get a law degree
               G
So I sat down with mama and daddy
             A         Em
They tried to talk some sense into my big head
     D         G          A       G   D
But the best advice that I ever got was from my sister's rock star boyfriend

And all those girls that were too cool to talk to
       A           Bm
They'll be waitin' in the line out back
        D             G
Might get your picture in your hometown paper
        A     G   D
Maybe buy your mama that Cadillac

CHORUS:
D   A    G     D
Just get your guitar and learn how to play
A      G   D
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
       A      G       Bm     G
When you're livin' in a world that you don't understand
    D
Find a few good buddies
A             D        G
Start a band, start a band scrape up some money
     A    D     G  A

With a little bit of luck you'll be packin' the stands       it stops)
