-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] C/G Am E G [Verse]
C/G            Am    E
In the Suburbs, I
I learned to drive
C/G                         Am
And they told me we'd never survive.

E                             G
Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'
[Interlude] C/G Am E G [Verse]
C/G                  Am     E
You always seemed so sure 

                       G
That one day we'd fight in

C/G           Am
In a suburban war. 

E                            G
Your part of town against mine

C/G                                Am     E
So you're standin' on the opposite shore. 

                          G
But by the time the first bombs fell, 

C/G             Am     E
We were already bored.

               G
We were already, already bored
[Chorus]
C/G               Am 
Sometimes I can't believe it; 

E
I'm moving past the feelin'

C/G        Am 
Sometimes I can't believe it;

E          G
I'm moving past the feelin' again.
[Interlude] C/G Am E G [Verse]
C/G              Am     E
Kids wanna be so hard.

                            G            C/G                       Am   E
But in my dreams we're still running and screaming through the yard.

                             G            C/G               Am     E
When all the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall,

                         G            C/G               Am
When all the houses they built in the seventies finally fall;

                   E
Meant nothin' at all

                    G
Meant nothin' at all; it meant nothin'
[Chorus]
C/G          Am              E
Sometimes, I can't believe it;

          G
I'm moving past the feelin'

C/G         Am              E
Sometimes I can't believe it; 

          G                    C/G            Am   E
I'm moving past the feelin' and into the night.
[Verse]
C/G                  Am     E
So can you understand? 

                            G         C/G 
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young.

E                                     G
I wanna hold her hand and show her some beauty

C/G                          Am
before all this damage is done. 

E                     G
If that's too much to ask 

        C/G            Am
If it's too much to ask

               E
Then send me a son.

C/G               Am
Under the overpass

E                                G
Under the parking lot were still waitin'

C/G               Am     E
Its already passed. 

                           G
So move your feet from hot pavement 

C/G               Am
and onto the grass.

                   E
'Cause its already passed

             G
Its already, already passed
[Chorus]
C/G         Am              E
Sometimes I can't believe it;

           G
I'm moving past the feelin'

C/G         Am              E 
Sometimes I can't believe it; 

           G                     C/G           Am
I'm moving past the feeling, and into the night.
[Coda]
E                   G C/G Am
I'm moving past the feelin'

E                   G C/G Am
I'm moving past the feelin'

E                  G     C/G Am E
In my dreams we're still screaming

                   G     C/G Am E
In my dreams we're still screaming

                   G     C/G Am E
In my dreams we're still screaming
G [Outro] (Whistle to the melody) C/G Am E G C/G Am E G [End on C]
