[Verse 1: Ashley Monroe]
D
I picked a good day for a recreational percocet
G/A
I've got an itch to just get high
A
I'm in the middle of the worst of it
D A
These are the best years of my life
[Verse 2: Angaleena Presley]
D
I've got the hankering for intellectual emptiness
G/A
I've got the need to ease my mind
A
I'll watch some re-runs on the TV set
D
These are the best years of my life
[Chorus: Miranda Lambert]
G/A
I was looking forward to
Staying here forever
D
'Cause you asked me to
Didn't think that I could do better
G/A
So I settled down
In this ten-cent town
A
It's about to break me
[Verse 3: Miranda Lambert]
D
I'm gonna mix a drink and try to drown this worthlessness
G/A
Call Mom and tell her I'm alright
A
Well he don't love me but he ain't gone yet
These are the best years of my life
[Instrumental]
G/A A G/A A D G/A A D
[Chorus: Miranda Lambert]
G/A
Yeah I was looking forward to
Staying here forever
D
'Cause you asked me to
Didn't think that I could do better
G/A
So I settled down
In this ten-cent town
A
It's about to break me
[Verse 1: Ashley Monroe]
