Intro: C Am E G x2

C               Am  E              G
 In the suburbs I,    I learned to drive
         C                     Am    E                    G
 And you told me we?d never survive,   grab your mother?s keys, we?re leaving

C Am E G

C                     Am    E          G
 You always seemed so sure,   That one day we?d be fighting
C              Am    E             G
 In a suburban war,   your part of town against mine
           C                        Am     E           G
 I saw you standing on the opposite shore,  but by the time the first bombs fell
 C               Am     E                  G
 We were already bored,   We were already, already bored

Chorus:
C            Am               E           D
 Sometimes I can?t believe it, I?m moving past the feeling
C            Am               E           D                C     Am E G
 Sometimes I can?t believe it, I?m moving past the feeling again

     C                Am     E           G
 The kids wanna be so hard,    but in my dreams we?re still screaming
     C                   Am     E                G
 And running through the yard,   when all of the walls that they built in the 
 C                 Am     E                G
 Seventies finally fall,    And all of the houses they built in the
 C                 Am                          E                 G
 Seventies finally fall, meant nothing at all,  meant nothing at all, it meant nothing

Chorus:
C            Am               E           D
 Sometimes I can?t believe it, I?m moving past the feeling
C            Am               E           D                     C               Am E G
 Sometimes I can?t believe it, I?m moving past the feeling and into the night

C Am E G
	C                      Am  E              G                        C     Am
 So can you understand,      why I want a daughter while I?m still young
           E                  G
 I want to hold her hand, and show her some beauty
   C                       Am    E             G
 Before all this damage is done,   but if it?s too much to ask
         C                Am                E    G
 If it?s too much to ask,    then send me a son

C                    Am  E                G
 Under the overpass,       in the parking lot we?re still waiting
      C               Am E              G
 It?s already passed,      so move your feet from hot pavement
     C              Am                     E                   G
 And into the grass,    cause it?s already past, it?s already, already past

Chorus:
C            Am               E           D
 Sometimes I can?t believe it, I?m moving past the feeling
C            Am               E           D                C     Am
 Sometimes I can?t believe it, I?m moving past the feeling again

E           D                C     Am
 I?m moving past the feeling again
E           D                C     Am
 I?m moving past the feeling again

 In my dreams we?re still screaming

 We?re still screaming

 We?re still screaming
