[Intro] C C/B Am G F C Dm Am G F C [Verse]
        C                   Am
I got a notepad and I got a ballpoint pen

              G                  Em     F
They've got a promise to lead me down a road that never ends

                 C
And it'll pass a sports car

             Am
It'll pass a new TV

             G                        Em                       F
It'll pass a house on the hill with a pool in the yard for the friends I'll never see
[Chorus]
C                               Am
They ain't got nothing for me

                        G                Em      F      C
They've got nothing but tired reasons to pretend we're alive
[Verse]
        C                      Am
I got a six-string and I got a broken van

        G              Em          F
I got a show to play tonight and I don't have a backup plan

              C                          Am
Yeah, you got ripped off cause you got a million days

              G                       Em                              F
And they just bleed into each other until the day you wonder why your youth has gone away
[Chorus]
C                               Am
They ain't got nothing for me

                        G                Em      F      C
They've got nothing but tired reasons to pretend we're alive

                                Am
They ain't got nothing for me

                        G                Em      F      C
They've got nothing but tired reasons to pretend we're alive
[Post-chorus]
C
   Oh my god

         F
How they try to grind you down

C
   Oh my god

         F                                  C
How they try to grind you down to nothing
[Chorus]
C                               Am
They ain't got nothing for me

                        G                Em      F      C
They've got nothing but tired reasons to pretend we're alive

                             Am
They've got nothing for me

                        G                Em      F      C
They've got nothing but tired reasons to pretend we're alive

                             Am
They've got nothing for me

                        G                Em      F      C
They've got nothing but tired reasons to pretend we're alive

                             Am
They've got nothing for me

                        G                Em      F      C
They've got nothing but tired reasons to pretend we're alive
[Post-chorus]
C
   Oh my god

         F
How they try to grind you down

C
   Oh my god

         F
How they try to grind you down to nothing

C
   Oh my god

         F
How they try to grind you down

C
   Oh my god

         F                                  C
How they try to grind you down to nothing
