You want to grow up to paint houses like me, a trailer in
C G
my yard till you're 23
C G D
You want to be old after 42 years, keep dropping the hammer
C G
and grinding the gears
D C G D C
Well, I used to go out in a Mustang, a 302 Mach One in
G
green
D C G D
Me and your Mama made you in the back and I sold it to buy
C G
her a ring
C G C
And I learned not to say much of nothing and I figured you
G
already know
C G D
but in case you don’t or maybe forgot, I’ll lay it out real
C
nice and slow
C G C
Don’t call what your wearing an outfit. Don’t ever say your
G
car is broke
C G D
Don’t worry about losing your accent, a Southern Man tells
C G
better jokes
C G C
Have fun but stay clear of the needle. Call home on your
G
sister’s birthday
C G
Don’t tell them you’re bigger than Jesus, don’t give it
Em D C G
away
Six months in a St. Florian foundry, they call it Industrial Park.
Then hospital maintenance and Tech School just to memorize Frigidaire parts.
But I got to missing your Mama and I got to missing you too.
So I went back to painting for my old man and I guess that’s what I’ll always do
So don’t try to change who you are boy, and don’t try to be who you ain’t.
And don’t let me catch you in Kendale with a bucket of wealthy-man’s paint.
Don’t call what your wearing an outfit. Don’t ever say your car is broke.
Don’t sing with a fake British accent. Don’t act like your family’s a joke.
Have fun, but stay clear of the needle, call home on your sister’s birthday.
Don’t tell them you’re bigger than Jesus, Don’t give it away.
Don’t give it away.

Even though most DBT songs are tuned down, I think this one is an exception. It sounds to me to be in standard tuning, with basically the same chords as listed above. I think its easier to substitute a Cadd9 for the C chord, and it sounds good with the song. Also, the break down part is Am-G-Em, or at least thats the way it sounds to me.
-bbb | 3/19/2004 | Jason sings this one, he usually doesnt tune down. Patt and Cooley always do though.
-mightyjoe | 9/29/2004 | Yeah, I think it's in standard tuning too....BUT Good job Aaron!!!
....Anyone have the leads at the end????
-PUCKBOY99 | 11/28/2004 | I saw them in concert and Jason does tune down for the show, he played this one with a capo at two, putting it in standard tuning.
