Intro

        

Verse 1

I got up and drove to work on the wrong side of the road,
what the hell would I do, I must admit I didn't know,
C G Em /D C
Andrew came along y'all to add a couple of lines or so,
I've got one I finished yesterday, and I've got 3.6 to go. 

Chorus

One down and 3.6
tomorrow and I'm out of here
one down and 3.6
tomorrow and I'm out of here   

Verse 2

People tell me "Ben, just make up junk and turn it in",
but I never could quite bring myself to write a bunch of shit,
C G Em /D C
I don't like wasting time on music that won't make me proud,
but now I've found a reason, to sit right down and shit some out. 

Chorus

One down and 3.6
tomorrow and I'm out of here
one down and 3.6
tomorrow and I'm out of here. Yeah, yeah 

Bridge

I love you more than
Bm Em /D
any man has love before
C D Bm Em /D
I love you more all the stars up in the sky
C D Bm Em /D C Cm
I think that we should settle down and live happily forever, after
what do you think of that?       

Verse 3

I'm really not complaining,
I realize it's just a job
and I hate hearing belly-aching rockstars whine and sob
Cause I could be busing tables
Em /D C
I could well be pumping gas
but I get paid much finer for playing piano
and kissing ass and it's 1.6 yesterday
and 3.6 at last 

Chorus

One down and 3.6
tomorrow and I'm out of here
one down and 3.6
tomorrow and I'm out of here
one down and 3.6
one down and 3.6
tomorrow and I'm out of here
