Ebm7


[Verse 1]
Eb7
I stepped outside the backstage door to breathe some nicotine

And maybe check my mailbox, see if I can read the screen

Then I heard a click, the stage door lock
Eb7
I knew just what that meant

I'm gonna have to walk around the block if I wanna get it in


[Chorus]
Ebm7
Wristband, my man, you got to have a wristband
Eb7
If you don't have a wristband, my man, you don't get through the door

Wristband, my man, you got to have a wristband

And if you don't have a wristband, my man, you don't get through the door


[Verse 2]
Eb7
I can't explain it, I don't know why my heart beats like a fist

When I meet some dude with an attitude saying "hey, you can't do that, or this"

And the man was large, a well-dressed six-foot-eight

And he's acting like Saint Peter standing guard at the pearly...


[Chorus]
Ebm7
Wristband, my man, you got to have a wristband
Eb7
If you don't have a wristband, my man, you don't get through the door

And I said "Wristband? I don't need a wristband

My axe is on the bandstand, my band is on the floor"

I mean it's just...

[Verse 3]
    Ebm7
The riots started slowly with the homeless and the lowly

Then they spread into the heartland towns that never get a wristband

Kids that can't afford the cool brand whose anger is a short-hand
    Eb7                                                                     Bbm7
For you'll never get a wristband and if you don't have a wristband then you can't get through the door
