[Intro]
F C Am G F C Am

[Verse 1]
        F             C      
Fell in love with the shotgun 
 Am    G
in my hands
            F      
If you were saying,
 C             Am    G
 must've be contrarian
    F                 C 
But I've been working on
   Am       G
 myself all fall
            F          C   
Six beers a week ain't bad,
          Am        G
 a little boring is all, huh

[Chorus]
          F          G      C
You're so cool in my living room
                  F        
And when you talk trash with
       G            C
 your hair slicked back

When I get to Hell or Heaven,

 music, and ruling the world

    F             C   
I'm gonna start a riot
          Am         G
 from the edge of my bed
               F              
'Cause I still see you in that
 C                Am         G
 pool hall in New York in my head
F                 C        
Used to know some folks who 
        Am    G
put it all online
        F         C     
But you paint landscapes 
        Am      G
in the evening time
