[Intro] G Bm G Bm C Cm G D [Verse 1]
G            Gmaj7/F#               Bm
I got up and drove to work on the wrong side of the road,

 C                  G               D
what the hell would I do, I must admit I didn't know,

 C            G                    Em    /D        C
Andrew came along y'all to add a couple of lines or so,

          G                    Bm                  C    G      D
I've got one I finished yesterday, and I've got 3.6 to go. 
[Chorus]
G           Em
One down and 3.6 

C            Cm
tomorrow and I'm out of here 

G           Em
one down and 3.6 

C                 Cm      G    Bm   G   D
tomorrow and I'm out of here 
[Verse 2]
G               Gmaj7/F#          Bm
People tell me "Ben, just make up junk and turn it in",

   C                  G                  D
but I never could quite bring myself to write a bunch of shit,

   C                  G            Em          /D        C
I don't like wasting time on music that won't make me proud, 

    G                    Bm                  C                G    D
but now I've found a reason, to sit right down and shit some out. 
[Chorus]
G           Em
One down and 3.6 

C            Cm
tomorrow and I'm out of here 

G           Em
one down and 3.6 

C                 Cm      G   Bm   G        D
tomorrow and I'm out of here.  Yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
C          D
I love you more than 

Bm         Em    /D
any man has love before 

C          D              Bm         Em    /D 
I love you more all the stars up in the sky 

C           D                  Bm            Em     /D     C   Cm
I think that we should settle down and live happily forever, after 

                    G     Bm   G  Bm   C   Cm   G  D
what do you think of that? 
[Verse 3]
   G          Gmaj7/F#
I'm really not complaining, 

  Bm
I realize it's just a job 

      C               G           D
and I hate hearing belly-aching rockstars whine and sob 

        C                G
Cause I could be busing tables 

        Em       /D      C
I could well be pumping gas 

     G               Bm               C
but I get paid much finer for playing piano 

          G                         Bm
and kissing ass and it's 1.6 yesterday

 C        G         D
and 3.6 at last 
[Chorus]
 G          Em
One down and 3.6 

C              Cm
tomorrow and I'm out of here 

G           Em
one down and 3.6 

C           Cm
tomorrow and I'm out of here 

G          Em
one down and 3.6 

G          A7
one down and 3.6 

C                Cm        G
tomorrow and I'm out of here
