[Intro] G G G G G G G G G G G G [Verse 1]
       G
I been wasting all my best days

     G
I invested all my worst ways

           G
I've been thinking about all the things

               G
I should have never left behind

           G
Oughta be watching the children playing

        G
In the yard I never see I should be mowing today

   G
Instead, I'm searching for ways to say

G
All the words I can't find
[Chorus]
C                                      G
Everybody's trying to be the next someone

           D                  c               G
But look at me, I'm trying to be the first something
G G G G [Verse 2]
      G
Back when dollars made sense

       G
Had to keep the squirrels off the fence

    G
And shoes are coming loose on the fastest horse in town

          G
But that old horse just keeps on running

       G
If he falls, they'll put him down

          G
Them men keeping him out on the track

             G
Running him ragged just to pile up the stacks

                      G
Make it so he's all spent by the time he gets back
[Chorus]
C                                      G
Everybody's trying to be the next someone

Look at me, I'm trying to be the first something
