Chords for Zane Williams - Overnight Success - Lyric Video

_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ First you buy an old second hand amp with a knob that sticks
[Bb] You [D] _ _ _ _
plug a cheap fender in then you crank it to ten and you learn a few [A] haggard licks _ _ _ _ _ _
Then you play every day for oh about nine or ten years
_ Writing songs for your girl [E] and blowing [D] all your money on [Dm] gear
Then [D] _ _ you talk to a drummer who's a friend of a friend at church _ _ _ _
_ _ _ He's got a buddy who's been learning the bass so you get together [A] after work _ _ _ _
_ _ Play together six months to the band is tight
But your first big gig on a Friday night step up to the mic and pray you remember [Dm] the words
[D] [G] Then you sing about love
For maybe love gone wrong
And you do a [D] little drinking
Do a drinking song
[D] You make [A] everybody dance [D] everybody smile.
Everybody [A] feel good for a while you [D] done
Way to [C] go you [G] finished [D] step [Dm] one
_ _ [D] _ [Abm] Next you borrow ten grand [Dbm] from your uncle and you make [Dm] a CD
_ [D] Good _ _ _ _ luck paying him back cuz it's a modern-day fact anybody can get it [A] for free
Spend _ _ _ _ your time online making virtual plans shopping for a band and while you work for the man
Do you book an up gig you can turn in you [D] to eat?
Then you [G] sing about _ love
For maybe love gone wrong
[G] Can you do a [D] little drinking
Do a drinking song? _
[A] Make everybody dance [D] everybody smile.
[A] Everybody feel good for a [D] while
[A] _ [D] _ That's pretty [C] good, but that's just
[G] [D] Step _ _ [G] three _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ [D] _
_ _ [G] glue your hands to a steering [D] wheel
Step four eat fast food every meal [A] set five and six fire the [D] original band
And by [Dm] newsman [G] step seven burnout and give it up instead [D] they come back.
This is what you love
[E] _ So _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ you sing [G] about love
Or maybe love gone wrong
Put your [D] whole heart and soul
into every song
Make
[A] And let [D] no smile stack your [A] rewards up in a pile and [D] guess what's next
Everybody calls [C] you an [G] overnight [D] Yes _
_ _ Yeah, [C] you're an [G] [D] overnight success
_ Hey, _ [C] and all [G] I really took [D] was
20 years of blood sweat and [C] tears _
[D] _ _ You know what my second [C] thought maybe [G] you should do [D] I don't know
try out for American Idol or something _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
