1 In the suburbs, I     I learned to drive
         D8                     Bm9   F#10                   A11
2 And you told me we’d never survive, grab your mother’s keys, we’re leaving

5 You always seemed so sure,  That one day we’d be fighting
D20             Bm21   F#22              A23
6 In a suburban war,  your part of town against mine
           D24                        Bm25                F#26       A27
7 I saw you standing on the opposite shore, but by the time the first bombs fell
 D28               Bm29    F#30                  A31
8 We were already bored,  We were already, already bored

D32            Bm33               F#34           E35
11 Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling
D36            Bm37               F#38           E39                D40     Bm41 F#42 A43
12 Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling again

     D44                Bm45    F#46           A47
14 The kids wanna be so hard,   but in my dreams we’re still screaming
     D48                   Bm49    F#50                A51
15 And running through the yard,  When all of the walls that they built in the
 D52                 Bm53   F#54                A55
16 Seventies finally fall,  And all of the houses they built in the
 D56                 Bm57                     F#58                     A59
17 Seventies finally fall, meant nothing at all, meant nothing at all, it meant nothing

19Chorus:
D60            Bm61               F#62           E63
20 Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling
D64            Bm65               F#66           E67                     D68       Bm69 F#70 A71
21 Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling and into the night

25 So can you understand,     Why I want a daughter while I’m still young
           F#82                  A83
26 I want to hold her hand, and show her some beauty
   D84                       Bm85   F#86             A87
27 Before all this damage is done,  but if it’s too much to ask
         D88                Bm89                F#90    A91
28 If it’s too much to ask,    Then Send me a son

D92                  Bm93 F#94                A95
30 Under the overpass     In the parking lot we’re still waiting
      D96              Bm97 F#98              A99
31 It’s already passed      so move your feet from hot pavement
     D100              Bm101                    F#102                   A103
32 And into the grass    cause it’s already past, it’s already, already past
