[Verse 1]
C F C
Way back in the good old days
Eb F C
Things weren't really all that good
C F C
We grew up with the TV on
Eb F C
We learned how from Hollywood
Eb F C
We learned how from Hollywood
C F C
Riding with my headphones on
Eb F C
In the back of my mama's car
C F C
Winding down that dirty road
Eb F C
Town was close but it felt far
Eb F C
Town was close but it felt far
[Intro riff]
[Verse 2]
C F C
Drive in movies, Coca-Cola
Eb F C
Sweet 16, that kiss of death
C F C
Don't you cry when you should laugh, babe
Eb F C
I smell liquor on your breath
Eb F C
I smell liquor on your breath
[Chorus]
G
If it don't break you
F C
It might just make you rich
G
You might not get there
F C
And on the way it's a bitch
[Verse 3]
C F C
Gettin by, gettin high
Eb F C
Feeling like a low life bum
C F C
Racked up debt, couldn't pay my rent
Eb F C
Pissin' off till kingdom come
Eb F C
Pissin' off till kingdom come
C F C
Mother Mary, geez Louise
Eb F C
I was having a ball until I threw it too far
C F C
Playin' dives, tryin' to stay alive
Eb F C
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Eb F C
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
[Chorus]
G
If it don't break you
F C
It might just make you rich
G
You might not get there
F C
And on the way it's a bitch
[Intro riff]
[Verse 4]
C F C
But then I won the lottery
Eb F C
I struck gold and they picked me
C F C
Winner winner, chicken dinner
Eb F C
Hello mama look at me
Eb F C
Hello mama look at me
C F C
Now everything's turned inside out
Eb F C
They wanna put me on a big TV
C F C
Everybody wants to know
Eb F C
How I feel and what I think
Eb F C
How I feel and what I think
[Chorus]
G
If it don't break you
F C
It might just make you rich
G
You might not get there
F C
And on the way it's a bitch
C
It’s a bitch
F C
It’s a bitch
