[C] familiar place, [Gm] you [C] and I [Gm] _

[G] Nobody looked [D] any finer.
[C] [G] We _

[G] Brenda and Eddie were still going steady [D] in the summer of 75.
_ [C] [G] When they decided the night was to be [C] the end of July.
_ _ [G] Everyone said they [D] were crazy.
[C] [G] Brenda you know [C] it but you lay [G] here and Eddie could [F] never afford to live that [E] kind of [Gb]
life.
[E] Oh, [Am] but then we [C] were away but [D] Brenda and Eddie [G] could lie.
[F] Oh, _ [C] oh, _ [D] oh.
[C] Well, he got an apartment with deep-bottom carpets [D] and a number of [G] baby chairs.
[C] They put them back and they bought what they grabbed.

[C] Ratted it for a while.
Had a nice [D] car but it's always the [G] same in the end.
_ [C]
The kind that bores us.

The [D] kind that causes [G]
offense.
[C] And the king and the queen went back to the green.
[E] But you can never go [Em] back there again.
[A] Oh, oh, [D] oh. _
_ _ _ [G] Brenda and Eddie had had it already [D] by the summer of [G] 75.
[D] [C] From [G] the height of the Lord to the end and the shock of [C] the rest of their lives. _
_ [G] The streets were bad to the [D] greases.
[C] [G] Nothing you could do [C] but forget their pieces.
