Hey,

Played 4x:
A C G D (sus4)

VERSE 1:
A
Life is so boring
     C
It's really got me snoring
    G
I'm wearing out the flooring
     D
In a cheap hotel
      A
But I don't have to work
      C
And I might be sinning
         G
But I'm  never gonna have to hear
    D
The rings of school bells

BREAK 1: Played 2x

VERSE 1:
Well, don't you remember?
You told me in December
That a boy is not a man
Until he makes a stand
Well, I'm not a genius
But maybe you'll remember this
I never said I ever wanted
To be a man

VERSE 3:
My mom is so caring
She really got me staring
At all the crazy little things
She does for sure
And I can't seem to think of
Another kind of love
That a boy could ever get
From anyone but her
