[Verse]
        C           G  C  G
You're working too hard
           C          G  C  G
Or you're living too fast
      C          Em          D           C
Hands over your eyes with a foot on the gas
 
         C      G      C  G
And the best I can tell
     C           G     C  G
The crowd seems ashamed
    C             Em                D             C
It sounds like a warning when they call out your name
 
 
[Verse]
         C         G       C  G
The boy genius is grown now
          C          G    C  G
The competition got fierce
           C         Em       D          C  G/B
And you'd rather be anywhere other than here
 
 
[Chorus]
           Am      Em       Am
But it can get so much worse
       G         C
And I reckon it will
       C        G   C  G  C  G  C  G
In Vestaviaaaa Hills
 
 
[Verse]
      C           G      C  G
Last night was a long one
            C          G     C  G
You made a lot of new friends
          C           Em        D            C
And your band was on fire right up 'til the end
 
           C             G    C    G
You met a girl from the subuuuurbs
         C              G  C  G
But you missed all the cues
       C           Em        D          C
I bet you don't remember me tying your shoes
 
 
[Verse]
         C         G       C  G
The boy genius is grown now
               C           G  C  G
And you're an angry young man
         C         Em             D          C  G/B
Well, I won't be around when you die in the van
 
 
[Chorus]
       Am
I got kids of my own
     G         C
Not much of a will
       C     G   C  G  C  G  C  G
In Vestavia Hills

[Verse]
      C         G      C  G
This run is my last one
         C       G      C  G
I gotta get off the road
           C           Em          Em     C
And gotta get my mind back in the family mode
 
       C            G       C  G
And I wish you the best, son
           C          G   C  G
I've seen worse do alright
           C             Em               D           C
You're at war with your heart and you're too weak to fight
 
 
[Verse]
         C         G       C  G
The boy genius is grown now
      C          G       C  G
Your dreams all came true
         C                Em          D        C  G/B
And now you're left with nothing but damage to do
 
 
[Chorus]
                Am
Well, I've got dreams of my own
        G         C
And my wife pays the bills
       C     G   C  G  C  G  C  G
