As recorded by The Wonder Years (From the 2013 Album THE GREATEST GENERATION) [Intro] E G#m F# E G#m F# B [Verse 1]
B
Memories flood back like photographs

    G#m                          F#                     B  E
All bright and out of focus, all drab with muted colors

B
The whole world smells like True Blue

B
The only brand my grandma smokes

                         G#m
And the faintest hint of Coppertone 

                                  F#         E
I'm watching shorebirds circle in real close

                     C#m                        E
(I know you're gonna go, just please leave me a note)

                    C#m          E
(I left because you asked me to)
[Chorus]
                  G#m           F#                 E
Operator, take me home, I don't know where else to go

                      G#m  F#  E
I wanna die in the suburbs

                           G#m       F#
A heart attack, shovelling snow, all alone

     E                          G#m  F#  B
If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs
[Verse 2]
B
These northeast winters make boys into men

        G#m
Staring out at snow-ploughed mountains

       F#                       B
In the parking lots of churches

B
The city just felt worn out

B
No strength to pick our hearts off the ground

                G#m
We watched the '92 Birds

         F#                         E
Take the field without Jerome Brown

                            C#m
(We keep quiet when it gets bad)

                         E
(We don't talk about the setbacks)

                             C#m           E
(They only hear it when your voice cracks)
[Chorus]
                  G#m           F#                 E
Operator, take me home, I don't know where else to go

                      G#m  F#  E
I wanna die in the suburbs

                           G#m       F#
A heart attack, shovelling snow, all alone

     E                          G#m  F#  
If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs
[Bridge]
E                           C#m
I wanna die in the suburbs, I wanna die in the suburbs

E                           C#m                F#
I wanna die in the suburbs, I wanna die in the suburbs

E
I wanna die in the suburbs

E
(You start remembering...)

C#m
I wanna die in the suburbs

C#m
(...the anniversaries of the bad things)

E
I wanna die in the suburbs

E
(You start remembering...)

G#m     F#            B
I wanna die in the suburbs

B
(...the anniversaries of the bad things)
[Chorus]
B              
Operator, take me home, I don't know where else to go

                      G#m  F#
I wanna die in the suburbs

E                          G#m       F#
A heart attack, shovelling snow, all alone

     E                          G#m  F#
If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs

B
Operator, take me home, I don't know where else to go

                      G#m  F#
I wanna die in the suburbs

B                                     F#
A heart attack, shovelling snow, all alone

     B                          G#m  F#
If I die, I wanna die in the suburbs

                      E
I wanna die in the suburbs
