Chords

This song isn't exactly made for guitar, but here's the best I could come up with. [Verse 1]

Bm7
Twenty years old, pretty smart kid

                             Bm F#m
Didn't know what I wanted to do

     E
So I took the LSAT and then just like that

    E
Got accepted at Glendale U

Bm7
Everyone said it was a real safe bet

                              Bm    F#m
A prestigious and lucrative vocation

     E
So I set out on a journey to become an attorney

    F#m7
Without a moment's hesitation

[Pre-chorus]

    Bm7               F#m7      E
But here's some free advice I'm givin'

        Bm7               F#m7   E
When it comes to decidin' what to do for a livin'

[Chorus]

           Bm7
Don't be a lawyer! Don't do it!

                          D
Quickest way to ruin your life

           F#m7
Don't be a lawyer! Not worth it!

F#m7
It'll leave you dead inside

[Post-chorus]

    D                 E
The job is inherently crappy

                  C#m                      F#m7
That's why you've never met a lawyer who's happy

       Bm7   C#m7 D        E
It's a guaranteed soul destroyer

           F#m7
Don't be a lawyer

[Verse 3]

Bm7
Law school debt daily regret

                                 Bm  F#m
Is that what you dreamed of as a kid?

           E
Or did you hope one day that you'd find a way

         F#m7
To spend four years workin' on a

N.C. Pharmaceutical company's merger with another pharmaceutical company?

     Bm7
Your only expertise is runnin' up fees

                         Bm  F#m
Speakin' legalese like a dick

         E
But it's not too late to avoid this fate

     F#m7
Find any other job to pick

[Pre-chorus]

Bm7                D                    E
Sure, your parents might think you're a failure

Bm7               D                  E
But no one's ever said, "First, let's kill all the tailors."

[Chorus]

           Bm7
Don't be a lawyer!

                               D
I'm serious, it really, really sucks

           F#m7
Don't be a lawyer!

F#m7
No one you work with looks like Ally McBeal

[Post-chorus]

          D                E
There are so many other professions

     C#m                      F#m
That don't turn you into Jeff Sessions

         Bm7 C#m7    D          E
Just say no  to  the lawyer employer

               F#m7
No! don't be a lawyer

[Break]

F#m7
What about human rights law? No money, no, no money.

F#m7
Environmental law? No money, even less money

F#m7
Immigration law? No money, plus it's a bummer

F#m7
Okay, but what if one day you make it to the Supreme Court?

[Chorus]

        D                    E
It'd be great to be on the Supreme Court

           C#m7              F#m
But you'll never be on the Supreme Court

        Bm7   C#m7       D       E
There's truly no  chance of that happenin'

[Outro] N.C. The preceding song in no way reflects the views of N.C. CBS and the CW network. Ah, screw it. *Dies*

     C#m7       F#m7
See? Don't be a lawyer!
