Lyrics
My first guitar had three strings The case was held with tape My brother showed me two chords And I thought I'd made an escape The basement smelled like laundry The drums were a bucket and a lid But I felt like a headliner And I played like I'd never be hid Two chords and a thank you That's all I've got to say Two chords and a thank you For the noise that saved my day Hey, hey, we're loud and we're grateful Hey, hey, we play and we stay Two chords and a thank you Every single day We played for a garage door We played for a sleepy cat We played for the neighbours knocking And we thanked them for that Our mums were in the front row With ear plugs and a smile And I knew right then I'd keep going For at least another mile Two chords and a thank you That's all I've got to say Two chords and a thank you For the noise that saved my day Hey, hey, we're loud and we're grateful Hey, hey, we play and we stay Two chords and a thank you Every single day Thank you to the broken amp Thank you to the loose guitar string Thank you to the kid who said Come on, play that thing Thank you for the shouting Thank you for the cheer Thank you for the noise That brought us all right here Two chords and a thank you That's all we've got to say Two chords and a thank you For the noise that saved the day Hey, hey, we're loud and we're grateful Hey, hey, we play and we stay Two chords and a thank you Every single day Thank you, thank you Every single day
