[Intro]
(C)  G  C  G

C  G  C  G
C  G  C  G
C  G  C  G

[Verse]
        C     
You\'re working 
      G  C  G
too hard
           C    
Or you\'re living \'
      G  C  G
too fast
      C          Em 
Hands over your eyes 
         D           C
with a foot on the gas
         C      G 
And the best I can 
     C  G
tell
     C          
The crowd seems
 G     C  G
 ashamed
    C             Em    
It sounds like a warning
            D  
 when they call 
           C
out your name

[Verse]
         C        
The boy genius is 
 G       C  G
grown now
          C        
The competition got
  G    C  G
 fierce
           C         Em     
And you\'d rather be anywhere
  D          C  G/B
 other than here

[Chorus]
           Am    
But it can get so
  Em       Am
 much worse
       G         C
And I reckon it will
       C      
In Vestaviaaaa
  G   C  G  C  G  C  G
 Hills

[Verse]
      C         
Last night was a 
  G      C  G
long one
            C    
You made a lot of
      G     C  G
 new friends
          C           Em 
And your band was on fire
       D            C
 right up \'til the end
           C        
You met a girl from 
     G    C    G
the subuuuurbs
         C     
But you missed 
         G  C  G
all the cues
       C           Em  
I bet you don\'t remember
      D          C
 me tying your shoes

         C       
The boy genius is
  G       C  G
 grown now
               C   
And you\'re an angry
        G  C  G
 young man
         C         Em  
Well, I won\'t be around
           D  
 when you die
        C  G/B
 in the van

[Chorus]
       Am
I got kids of my own

Not much of a will

In Vestavia Hills
C  G  C  G  C  G

[Verse]
      C         G      C  G
This run is my last one
         C       G      C  G
I gotta get off the road
           C         
And gotta get my mind
  Em          Em     C
 back in the family mode

       C            G   
And I wish you the best,
    C  G
 son
           C          G   C  G
I\'ve seen worse do alright
           C             Em  
You\'re at war with your heart
             D           C
 and you\'re too weak to fight


[Verse]
         C         G       C  G
The boy genius is grown now
      C          G       C  G
Your dreams all came true
         C              
And now you\'re left with 
  Em          D        C  G/B
nothing but damage to do

[Chorus]
                Am
Well, I\'ve got dreams
 of my own
        G         C
And my wife pays the bills
       C     G   
In Vestavia Hills
C  G  C  G  C  G

    C   G    C   G 
Vestaviaaaa Hiiills
