Intro
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |A \ \ \ | x2
Verse
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |A \ \ \ | x2
In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys we're leaving
Interlude
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |A \ \ \ |
Verse
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |A \ \ \ | x4
You always seemed so sure
Then one day we'll be fighting
In a suburban war
Your part of town against mine
I saw you standing on the opposite shore
But by the time the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already bored
Chorus
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |E \ \ \ | x2
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
Interlude
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |A \ \ \ |
Verse
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |A \ \ \ | x4
The kids want to be so hard
But in my dreams we're still screaming and running through the yard
And all the walls that they built in the 70s finally fall
And all of the houses they built in the 70s finally fall
Meant nothing at all, it meant nothing at all, it meant nothing
Chorus
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |E \ \ \ | x2
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling and into the night
Interlude
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |A \ \ \ | x2
Verse
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |A \ \ \ | x7
So can you understand
I want a daughter while I'm still young
I want hold her hand and show her some beauty before all this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask
Send me a son
Under the overpass in the parking lot we're still waiting
It's already past, so move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
Because it's already past, it's already, already past
Chorus
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |E \ \ \ | x2
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
Interlude
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |E \ \ \ | x2
I'm moving past the feeling
I'm moving past the feeling
Coda
|D \ \ \ |Bm \ \ \ |F# \ \ \ |A \ E \ | x6
In my dreams we're still screaming
We're still screaming
We're still screaming
|D \ \ \ |D \ \ \ |D (hold) |
