    Weak knees in a CVS
D
Door locked in the bathroom
G            D                        Bm
   What's it gonna be waitin' on that test?
D
Never thought that they'd be
G               D
   Puttin' those life plans on the shelf
Bm               D            G             D
    A couple American babies raisin' one up their self

One beer turns into a lit cigarette

Burnin' into a two beer buzz
Bm              D
Three beers turns into five and six
       G              D
Then a love drunk kiss in the back of that truck
Bm              A
Just like that, everything rearranges
D/F#            G
   Life changes out of the blue

It's just a Bud Light, but ain't it funny

What one beer    can turn into?

Crayon stick figure family
G       D                                Bm

Flash back to two pink lines
G           D
   A whole bunch of prayin' and doubtin'
Bm         D

Now the world don't spin without 'em (Hey, yeah) oh, cause
