As recorded by Bruce Springsteen (From the 2025 Box Set NEBRASKA '82: EXPANDED EDITION) [Intro] D G D A D G D A D G [Verse 1]
D       G            D             A
I had a dream of the way I thought it should be

     D             G                   D        A
So I moved to the suburbs, yeah, just me and my family

D              G                  D                      A
On the block I live, you got everything that a man would need to own

    G              A                       D
Two cars in each garage and a gun in every home
[Verse 2]
                      G              D                    A
Now sometimes I gotta go away, and I know for a long time I'll be gone

      D      G           D               A
Well, I get so afraid of leaving my baby all alone

D                    G                     D
I keep a secret in a dresser drawer of our bright little house

          A
Where the lawn's fresh mown

    G              A                       D
Two cars in each garage and a gun in every home
[Harmonica Solo] G D A [Verse 3]
D                 G              D                A
Sometimes I wanna take my little boy and hold him in my arms

D          G              D           A
Shield him from all pain, protect him from all harm

D                 G          D                   A
From a world gone crazy now, from a world that's gone all wrong

            G            A
But I don't know what to do, no, I don't know what to do
[Verse 4]
D                    G                 D        A
Some nights I put my baby to bed and I shut out all the lights

  D              G                        D                    A
I sit downstairs in the living room and I listen to the sounds of the night

D              G             D               A
I stare out my window onto a street so empty and alone

                G              A                       D
Filled with two cars in each garage and a gun in every home

      G                  A                            D
And I don't know what to do, no, I don't know what to do
[Outro-Harmonica Solo] G A D G A D
