Well, I [Ab]thought about the army

Grew a [Ab]moustache and a mullet
Got a [Ebm]job at Chick-fil-A
Citing[Db]Citing artistic differences
the [Ab]band broke up in May
And in [Fm]June reformed without me
And they [Ebm]got a different name
I nuked a[Db]another grandma's apple pie
And [Ab]hung my head in shame, no
