C Dm F x2
C Dm Oh! Well, remember the guy who was a football star? F He had it made with the ladies but he never got far. C Dm Five years past, now he's gotten kind of fat, F working eight days a week at the Laundromat. C Dm With his Momma and his Daddy breathing down his neck, F about everything he does so much it makes him sick. C Dm So he sits home alone, with the game on TV, F as the crowd goes wild he says, "That coulda been me!" C Dm Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia Em F Best not let it get the best of you C G Is it everything you thought it would be? C Dm Remember playing games at the rich kid's home? F His Dad owned a bank, while his mom was alone. C Dm Everyday with the mailman, the trash man, lawn guy... F Kid didn't look a damn thing like his Dad (I knew why) C Dm He grew up got a job making eighty grand a year F Had a wife and kid, all the guys call a queer C Dm But his dad never knew, he was too blind to see
he said, "Guess it kinda ran in the family".
C Dm Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia Em F Best not let it get the best of you C G Is it everything you thought it would be? C Dm Remember the girl down the street with the kids F That used to come outside, but she never did? C Dm (why?) 'Cause she was trying to hide the bruises where her old man beat her, F 'cause he hit her in the face with an old space heater. (ow!) C Dm and he came home drunk and tried to force sex on her F But he didn't see a 44 stuffed in the covers C Dm So she waited 'til he came, he lie there naked F Before she blew his head off, she told him she'd been faking C Dm all along, so long for everything you done wrong F Here's a bullet, go to hell, 'cause its where you belong! C Dm Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia Em F Best not let it get the best of you C G Is it everything you thought it would be? C Dm Just another day in Suburbia, Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia Em F Best not let it get the best of you C G Is it everything you want it to be? C Dm Remember the cutest couple in the world F Ya know he was the punk and she was Daddy's little girl. C Dm and graduation came and she wanted him to stay F he had bigger better dreams waiting out in L.A. C Dm She cried and he cried as the plane flew away F She never, ever, wanted it to end this way. C Dm Two years later she reads in the news, F he'd gone on to be a big star but nobody knew. C Dm 'cause he changed up his name but his heart stayed the same, F 'cause every song he wrote, was about her, he claimed. C Dm he never got to tell her 'cause he died that year, F from all of the coke, and the pills, and the beer, C Dm and the whole world cried, but just for one day F 'cause sooner or later, the pain goes away. C Dm Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia Em F Best not let it get the best of you C G Is it everything you thought it would be? C Dm Just another day in Suburbia, Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia Em F Best not let it get the best of you C G Is it everything you want it to be?
