Capo 3rd Fret (To Match Recording)

Intro: (D) (Bm) x 2 

My a(D)larm goes off early, can't afford to be late
If I (Bm) don't get a move on, I won't get paid
So I (C) throw back those covers and (G) get my butt up out of (A) bed (Asus4) (A)
It's still (D) dark when I'm leavin', so I let my lady sleep
I know (Bm) her and those babies are countin' on me
To put (C) food on the table and (G) keep this roof over our (A) heads (Asus4) (A)

  (D) That's why I get crackin' in the mornin'
  (A) Fight all that traffic, out on I-40
  Punch a (G) clock - at a (D/F#) job - for a (G) boss
  That (D/F#) I don't (Em) like (A)
  (D) That's why I keep swingin' that hammer
  (A) Fight for each step that I take on that ladder
  (G) Break my (D/F#) back for a (G) slice of that (D/F#) American (Em) Pie (A)
  Yeah, (D) that's why

Well I wear a hard hat, steel toed boots, and leather gloves
My office is the front seat of a four-door truck
Decorated with crayon drawn pictures all taped to the dash
And our junior pro football starts here in July
There'll be shoulder pads, jerseys, and new clothes to buy
And my wife's had her eye on some earrings I'd sure like her to have

Repeat Chorus

Solo

They want (G) cell phones, (D) laptops, ba(A)llet shoes and (D) dresses
(G) Xbox - (D) Ipods, and (Em) rock and roll drum (A) lessons

Repeat Chorus and Fade Out
