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
                               D
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]

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
                               D      Gm   
These are the best years of my life
                                   D
These are the best years of my life
