Gym Class Heroes – Simple Living (Guitar)

         Dm
I'm like 9 minutes away from finishing my 9 hour shift

    Am
And wishing I was gone 9 hours ago

      Dm
Cause 9 hours wasted tossing back at this chicken

             Am
I could have written 9 verses just in time for the show

        Dm
Slacker mind state living on time that's borrowed

      Am
My motto's "I'll stop procrastinating tomorrow"

           Dm
I said the sorrow from the wind chimes left happiness

Am
Lonesome and strung sarcasm to make the melody wholesome

        Dm
From my lungs to my feet I'm breathing everything I speak

                Am
But now they're charging for oxygen and the bills are next week

          Dm
I'll be a day late and a buck short story of my life

          Am
I wish my pay rate was much more

                             Dm
Ducking swords in a rat race I didn't apply for running swords

                  Am
Something that's fake and thinking why for? They're shutting doors right in my face

Dm
And sit in high horses is car and a dope place

Am
Something to die for this is my war

           Dm
So now I'm schemin' on plots to make my pockets swell

       Am
Simple living is a bitch but damn, I do it well

         G
Some are fortunate to make it and some of 'em fail

         F
Some locomotives push through and some of 'em get the rail

Dm
Schemin' on plots hey Hey Hey

       Am
Simple living is a bitch hey Hey Hey

         G
Some are fortunate to make it hey Hey Hey

          F
Some locomotives push through

         Dm
I lead a crocodile mile lifestyle I run and slide

              Am
But when it's time to collide with the bump I always bail

              Dm
Cause I'm not ready for that time that silly 9 to 5

  Am
Solidified career option a hop skip and a leap

Dm
Away from a rock star

                    Am
And not too far away from filling my pops shoes

                 Dm
The idyllic hard working with callused hands

                          Am
Complete with wife, kids, dog, house, and picket fence

                      Dm
That's non sense, I'm conviced I'm built for better things

                         Am
And won't settle for the empty smile that cheddar brings

                          Dm
It seems like I'm working hard simply cos it's what they say that's what I have to do

        Am
You graduate and then you either get a job or you go to school

Dm
12 years wasn't enough?

                    Dm
That's more than half of my life spent trying to make the world accept me

                                   Am
Plus I've fought the papers saying that I made it through

        G                Dm
Now I'm working two jobs, three with music and you don't respect me?

F        C
Fuck if I'll retire now you're 62

           Dm
So now I'm schemin' on plots to make my pockets swell

       Am
Simple living is a bitch but damn, I do it well

         G
Some are fortunate to make it and some of 'em fail

         F
Some locomotives push through and some of 'em get the rail

Dm
Schemin' on plots hey Hey Hey

       Am
Simple living is a bitch hey Hey Hey

         G
Some are fortunate to make it hey Hey Hey

          F
Some locomotives push through
