VERSE 1
Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
                    C5      G5        D5
They're getting over the hill
                  G5      C5         G5
Death is closing in and catching up
      C5     G5       D5
As far as I can tell
              G5     C5        G5    
Got a plan of action and cold blood
                C5         G5 D5
And it smells of defiance
              G5           C5            G5
I'll just wait for Mom and Dad to die
                 C5     G5 D5
And got my inheritance

CHORUS
                C5           G5
Well now I want more
                     C5        G5
'Cause I'm getting bored
                C5      G5           D5
And I'm going nowhere fast
           C5                       G5
I was once filled with doubt
               C5              G5
Now it's all figured out
  F5                          D5
Nothing good can last

VERSE 2
   G5                    C5        G5
Crows feet and rot are setting in
        C5        G5           D5
And time is running out
        G5        C5         G5
My parent's income interest rate
      C5        G5         D5
Is gaining higher clout
            G5               C5
I'm a snot nosed slob
        G5
Without a job
             C5      G5                D5
And I know I damn well should
                   G5             C5        G5
Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
              C5          G5          D5
But my future's looking good

CHORUS
               C5           G5
Well now I want more
                     C5         G5
'Cause I'm getting bored
               C5       G5          D5
And I'm going nowhere fast
          C5                        G5
I was once filled with doubt
               C5              G5

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
