Pretty simple, listen to the song to get the rhythm. I couldn't find official
lyrics online so I wrote these out, I think they are pretty close. Use bar chords
in the verses and regular chords in the chorus. Awesome band, great song.
 
[Intro]
 
G A D G
 
[Verse 1]
 
G
Stay hydrated from a double shot
A
Get my nourishment from a punch in the gut
D
Never really felt I had the best of luck
G
I got a big big mouth that just a won't shut up
 
G
Hop in the car turn the radio on
A
Out from the speakers a familiar song
D
Head down the road start to hum along
G
Made it all the way home and left the TV on
 
[Chorus]
 
C             D               G        G7
But I'm gonna learn to fly an airplane
C              D            G     G7
And it's gonna make my mama proud
E                        Am        A7
I'm gonna get my dad to notice me
                                  D7
Even if I have to fly it into the ground
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
I know my days are numbered but I'm bad at math
A
I got a dick so hard that a cat couldn't scratch
D
Made some bad decisions, I shouldn't go back
G
I can't see her it's just not like that
 
G
You see I had this lovely baby but I roughed her up
A
There's a little ounce of pain behind every grunt
D
All the noise that I make, I shouldn't complain
G
Regrets, tourettes, I guess it's the same
 
[Chorus]
 
C              D              G        G7
But I'm gonna learn to fly an airplane
C         D                G      G7
I'm gonna make my children proud
E                               Am   A7
I'm gonna make them all respect me
                                D7
Like when I first showed up in town
 
[Guitar Solo]
 
[Piano Solo]
 
[Verse 3]
 
G
Ain't no money coming in cause I get child support
A
To a family who don't want me but don't leave me alone
D
It's a terrible way to live but it ain't my choice
G
I sign away all my earnings on a little invoice
 
G
I'd like to be the hero on the evening news
A
Smiling in the face of danger like there's nothing to lose
D
Taking out a terrorist before he self detonates
G
Telling kids to stay in school and always get good grades
 
[Chorus]
 
C            D               G          G7
And I'm gonna learn to fly an airplane
C            D               G       G7
And I'm gonna make my country proud
E                    Am         A7
I'm send this off to Nashville
                                 D7
And sell my soul to a whole new crowd

Correct lyrics for verses 5 and 6: Any money coming in goes out to child support To a family who don't want me but won't leave me alone It's a terrible way to live but it ain't my choice I sign away all of my earnings on that little invoice I could be the hero on the evening news Smiling in the face of danger like he's nothing to lose Taking out a terrorist before he self-detonates Telling kids to stay in school and always get good grades
