I remember when I was a young man
C D
My mama took me to the store
G D
And I was scared out of my mind
C D
As I stared at that dressing room door
G
I was like: "What if the pants are
D C
too bright, too dark, too baggy, too tight,
D G
too big, wrong cut or too light
D C
Mom was like: "Just be yourself, son
D
Whatever you choose will be right"
G D
Well, it's like she knew my very soul
C D
'Cause the pants I bought that day would change my life
G D
I left that store with a uniform
C D
That I was wearing when I met my wife
G D
And at my first pop-rock show
C
And when I touched my first boob
D
And the first time I read Thoreau
G C
I did it all in my t-shirt and jeans
D
That's right, it doesn't mean anything
G C
People who know me know
D G
That I try not to say too much just with my clothes
D
And if you wanna get to know me, man
C
We're gonna have to talk
D G
So that you can find out who I am
G D
Well, jeans are pretty great
C D
They're durable and comfortable
G D
They're pants made out of plants
C D
So it's hard to argue they're unethical
G D
And I sure can say a little or a lot
C D
I'm a fan of unironic images of things I like
G D C
Like giraffes or my YouTube friends or pants
D
Or chickens, Jesus, nerds or bikes
G D C
But if you really wanna know what I love
D G
most about this wardrobe is that
D C D
It tells you very little about what lies beneath these clothes
G D
Just by looking at me
C D
You would never know if I'm a
G D
Thousandaire or a billionaire
C
I wanna tell you with my mouth
D
Not with the clothes I wear
C
I think it's odd how when we rebel
G
We put on uniforms
C
Like eyeliner or fancy pants
D
That come factory pre-torn
C
It's easy to say
That a guy must be a certain way
G D C
Just because he dresses offbeat
G
And a subcultural shortcut
C D
Might be what he's goin' for
G D C
But it's always gonna be incomplete
D
Yeah, we're never gonna know what that means
Which is why I wear
G C
T-shirt and jeans
D
That's right, it doesn't mean anything
G C
People who know me know
D G
That I try not to say too much just with my clothes
D
And if you wanna get to know me, man
C
We're gonna have to talk
D G
So that you can find out who I am
C
Yeah, We're gonna have to talk
D G
So that you can find out who I am
