VERSE:
D A
The only bands here to ever get big in my town
G A D A
Was the bands, that played for the rich kids
D A G
And their fans thought the rest of us were just clowns
A D A
Because we didn't dress like they did
CHORUS:
G
Maybe I'm wrong
A
Maybe I'm right
G A
And I'm all alone again on another boring Saturday night
G A C
And sometimes I wonder what the hell are we doing here
G A
Maybe we're just up here sellin' beer.

BRIDGE:
Bm G
We could all wear sombreros
D A
And pretend we were a popular band
Bm G
Because we don't go no ripped up clothes
D A
Like we ones we had in my old band
Bm G
Could give a damn if you dance around
D A
And know the words to every song
Bm G
Don't mind if you do
D A Asus4 A
And I'd be glad that you just came along
VERSE:
D A G
And all you need in this world is some good friends
A D A
To get you by
D A
And I'm not singing about when this old world ends
G A D A
Because we all know we run our time

I wouldn't mind if you did

Yeah I'd be glad that you just came along
