Am  F   G  C

[Verse]
Am         F
People are dying
    G            C
The fault is our own
        Am         F
You can do lots of damage
     G              C
When you're on your phone
       Am       F
We all have to agree (ah, ah)
   G             C
To change it somehow (ah, ah)
      Am         F
Let's all make a pledge (ah, ah)
   G            C
To end it right now (ah, ah)

[Chorus]
       F              C
Put it down, don't be on your phone
      G          C
While being president
       F              C
Put it down, might do something dumb
    G            C
And cause an accident
           F            C
Let's all agree, here today
                   G               G
That if we're ever leader of the USA

[Post-Chorus]
             Am
We'll put it down
F
 If at any point today,
                G
 you're being a president,
     C
 put down your mobile device
        Am       F
(Put it down) If I'm on the phone,
                 G
I will not get behind
               C
the desk of an oval office
        Am         F
(Put it down) I'll take the pledge,
              G
I'll take the pledge
    C
and I'll take the pledge
        Am    F
(No one cares) What's that?
            G
I was just elected president?
C
Well, then, goodbye
       F              C           G
Put it down if you're president today
                     G
If you find yourself being
            F
president today
                                C
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah) Hey, Brian, look!
            G
I was just elected president
       G
That's great, Nancy,
        F
now put down your phone, right
      C        G  G#dim
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, put it down

[Bridge]
        Am
Give a standing ovation
       Am
For suicide in our nation
          Am
Or I will rip my own guts out
        Am
Without one hesitation
            Am
Dedication, that's what it's taking
         Am
To waken people to care
           Am
And yet my future's so hazy
                Am
My girlfriend's making me crazy
              Am
But still I'm working so hard
               Am
You know, just trying to hold on
          Am
Because I know you don't
miss me so much
   Am
If I was gone
            Am
And all the voices start solo
         Am
But everyday I hear them grow
         Am
Saying, "Eric, don't do it,
            Am
don't do it noooo"

[Chorus]
       F
Put it down,
         C
don't be on your phone
      G          C
While being president
       F
Put it down, might do
C
something dumb
    G            C
And cause an accident
           F            C
Let's all agree, here today
                   G
That if we're ever leader
         G
of the USA

[Outro]
             Am    F    G    C
We'll put it down
       Am    F    G    C
Put it down
N.C.
I'm not gonna do it, guys.
It worked. I'm not gonna do it
