T-shirt And Jeans Teclado

	  
G               D 
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

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 
And if you wanna get to know me, man 
      C 
We're gonna have to talk 
        D                      G
