A D Well I've seen a hundred faces and I've rocked them all A E Sure beats flippin' eggs A/C# D I've passed out in Japanese concert halls E A And in Germany I broke my leg
[Verse 2]
A D Now there's nobody going to the record store A E Cause all that shit is free A/C# D It's great for the kids that wanna save some money E A But it's not so great for me
[Chorus]
A 'Cause I don't wanna work F#m Don't wanna work A/E D Don't wanna work at Guitar Center A No I don't wanna work F#m Don't wanna work A/E D Don't wanna work at Guitar Center A/C# D I wanna keep getting paid to fly around the world E Emaj7 And play the same four chords for all the boys and the girls

[Verse 3]
A D I bought a fake Telecaster when I was 14 A E Taught myself a song or two A/C# D Ten years later wrote a few of my own E A When I was drunk and had nothing to do
[Verse 4]
A D And then the next thing you know I'm in a big ass bus A E That once belonged to Toby Keith A/C# D Got driven by a fellow that just got out of jail E A That only had seven teeth
[Chorus]
A Now I don't wanna work F#m Don't wanna work A/E D Don't wanna work at Guitar Center A No I don't wanna work F#m Don't wanna work A/E D Don't wanna work at Guitar Center A/C# D I wanna keep getting paid to fly around the globe E Emaj7 I wanna be on stage when they turn on the strobe
