[E] [A]
[F#m] [B] [E]
[F#m] [B] When I [E] think back on all the crap I [A] learned in high school,
[F#] it's a wonder [B] I can [E] think at all.
[F#m] [B] And though [E] my lack of education [A] hasn't hurt me none, [F#]
I can [B] read the writing [E] on the wall.
[A] Oh, the [C#] chrome, [F#]
it gives [Bm] us those nice [E] bright colors, it gives us the [A] [D] greens of summers,
it makes [B] you think of [E] all the words of a [A] sunny [C#] day.
[F#] Oh yeah, I [Bm] got a knack on [E]
timber, I love to [A] take the floor [D] and drive.
So mama, [B] go take [E] my coat, chrome [A] away.
[C#m]
[F#m] [B]
If you [E] took all the girls I knew when I [A] was single,
[F#] and brought them all [B] together for [E] one night,
[F#m] [B] I [E] know they'd never match my sweet [A] imagination,
[F#m] and everything looks [B] worse in [E] black and white.
[A] Oh, the [C#] chrome, [F#] it gives [Bm] us those nice [E] bright colors, it gives us [A] the greens [D] of summers,
it makes you [B] think of [E] all the words of a sunny [A]
[C#] day.
[F#] Oh yeah, I [Bm] got a knack on [E] timber, I love to [A] take the floor and [D] drive.
