              Intro is just A with a country feel to it. 
 
A                                                                         D 
So here you are in your borrowed car kicking rocks around looking at your shoes, 
                  A

A 
Tell me where you bin, where you goin? to where were you last night, boy listen up I?m

                 D 
It?s the same old you when you get to drinking

                 D                               E 
The same old you in church on Sunday and getting high when the sun goes down 
A                                      D                             E

Your mama?s gonna cry her eyes, there ain?t gonna be a wedding day what?s she gonna say 
A                                                                                
                D
