VERSE 1
[Ab]
Well I thought about the army
[Ebm]
Dad said, "Son you're fucking high"
[C#] [Ab]
And I thought, yeah there's a first for everything
[Ab]
So I took my old man's advice, three sad semesters
[Ebm]
It was only fifteen grand
[C#]
spent in bed, I thought about the army
[Ab] [C#/F]
I dropped out and joined a band instead
CHORUS
[Ebm] [Bbm] [AbM7]
[Ebm] [Bbm] [AbM7]
VERSE 2
Grew a moustache and a mullet
Got a job at chic-fil-A
Citing artistic differences
the band broke up in May
[Fm]
And in June reformed without me
And they got a different name
I nuked another grandma's apple pie
And hung my head in shame, and oh
CHORUS
Been thinking a lot today
Been thinking a lot today
BRIDGE
[F#] [C#] [Ab]
Think I'll write a screenplay
[F#] [C#] [Ab]
Think I'll take you to LA
[F#] [C#] [Cm]
Think I'll get it done yesterday
PIANO SOLO
[Fm7] [Cm] [Fm7] [Cm]
[Bb7] [Eb7] [Ab] [AbM7]
[Fm7] [C#] [C#M7] [Fm/C] [Fm]
BASS SOLO
[Ab] [Ebm] [C#] [Ab]
HORN INTERLUDE
[Ab] [Ebm] [C#] [Ab]
[Ab] [Ebm] [C#] [Ab]
VERSE 3
In this time of introspection
On the eve of my election
I say to my reflection
God please spare me more rejection
'Cause my peers, they criticize me
And my ex-wives all despise me
Try to put it all behind me
But my redneck past is nipping at my heels
CHORUS
i've been thinking a lot today
Been thinking a lot today
Been thinking a lot today
[F#M7/Eb]
I thought about
[Bb] [AbM7]
the army...
