[D] [Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] Suburbs [Bm] are
[F#] a land of [A] drought, [D] and you told me we'd never [Bm] survive.
[F#] Grab your mother's [A] keys, we're leaving.
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] Your house seems [Bm] so shabby,
[F#] but there'll one [A] day we can find [D] it.
It's a suburban [Bm] war,
[F#] you're part [A] of town.
Yes, my love, [D] saw you standing on the opposite [Bm] shore.
[F#] But by [A] the time the first bomb [D] fell, we were [Bm] already bored.
[F#] We were [A] already, already [D] bored.
[Bm]
[F#] [E]
[C#m] [D] Suburbs [Bm] are a land [F#m] [F#] [E] of drought, and you told me we'd never survive.
[D] [Bm] It's
[F#] [A]
[D] a [Bm] suburban war, you're part of [F#] town.
Yes, my [A] love, saw you standing [D] on the [Bm] opposite
[F#] [A]
[D] shore.
[Bm]
[F#] And all [A] of the houses we [D] built in the seventies [Bm] finally fall.
It doesn't [F#] at all mean [A] nothing, at all, it mean [D] nothing.
[Bm]
And see [F#] this, I'm [E] with the feeling.
[D] [Bm]
See [F#] this, I'm [E] with the feeling.
[D] And into the night, [Bm] so [F#] [A]
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] she [Bm] understands.
[F#] I [A] want a daughter while I'm [D] still young.
I want to [C#m] hold her hand, show her some beauty [D] before all this damage [Bm] is done.
[F#] [A] But it's too much to [Bm] ask, it's too much to ask.
And so me [F#] is one, [F#m]
[D] a little [Bm] overpass.
[F#] And the [F#m] parking lot was still open, [D] it's already passed.
[Bm]
[F#] So [F#m] move your feet from hot [D] pavement into the [Bm] grass.
Cause it's already [F#] passed, it's [A] already, already passed.
[D] And [Bm]
see [F#] this, I'm with [E] the feeling.
[D] And so [Bm]
me [F#] is one, a little [E] overpass.
And the feet [D] went in the grass.
[Bm]
[F#m] [E]
And [A] [D] I'm [Bm]
[F#m] [E] with the [A] [D] feeling.
[Bm]
[F#] [F#m] [D]
[Bm]
[F#] And in my [A] dreams, I'm just still [Bm] screaming.
[F#] And I'm just still, [A] just still [D] screaming.
