[Intro]
D D D D
[Verse 1]
Em Em Em Saturday night he comes home stinking D Em D Sunday morning she wakes up thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking Em Em Em Does she need to get the kids dressed to go to church Em He's pulled a shotgun out of the lurch Em Em He heads for the tv room starts to search Em Em D His problems swollen like a river and his reality's shrinking
[Bridge]
G D A D He finds them huddled by the toy box and splatters 'em all G D A D The ken and the midge and the skipper doll G D A B They look like a family but they're really not at all
[Chorus]
A A Well he's sad but he ain't sorry A G It ain't the end of the world G G D It's just the wreck of the barbie ferrari
[Verse 2]
Em Em He wonders if he ever said i do Em To that little blonde plastic voodoo D And his mind's gone fishin' Em Em Well it started just as plain as the nose on your face Em Em Now it's in a thousand peices all over the place Em Em D He thought she was driving but it's twisted beyond recognition
[Bridge]
G D A D All the diapers and the tutus and the basketballs G D A D She was givin' them a lift to the promised mall G D A B But somewhere by the tv that v-12 stalled
[Chorus]
A A As he loaded the chamber her eyes got starry A G It ain't the end of the world G G D It's just the wreck of the Barbie Ferrari G D A D It's just the wreck of the Barbie Ferrari G D A D It's just the wreck of the Barbie Ferrari G D A B When they get home from church won't they be sorry A A He's cornered 'em all on his urban safari A G It ain't the end of the world... G D It's just the wreck of the Barbie Ferrari
D D D D D D D
[Verse 3]
Em Em He's played with cars and guns since he could crawl Em Em D Now he wishes he'd never met that doll with her face gone Em Em There wasn't nothing he ever thought about Em Em He couldn't drive through or shoot his way out Em Em As he surveys the family room littered with dolls Em D He can't find one leg to stand on
[Bridge]
G D A D He aims the gun at his head now he's starting to cry G D A D Looking for the courage to let it fly G D A B Can't live without his family now that something has died A A He's not sure who's hurt not sure who's sorry A G It ain't the end of the world...
[Outro]
G G D It's just the wreck of the Barbie Ferrari G D A D It's just the wreck of the Barbie Ferrari G D A D It's just the wreck of the Barbie Ferrari G D A B It's just the wreck of the Barbie Ferrari A Well he's sad but he ain't sorry A G It ain't the end of the world G D It's just the wreck of the Barbie Ferrari
