[D] In [Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] the suburbs [Bm] I
[F#] learned to [A] drive And [D] you told me we'd never [Bm] survive
[F#] Grab your mother's [A] keys, we're leaving [D] You [Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] always seemed so [Bm] sure
That [F#] one [A] day we'd be fighting [D] this urban [Bm] war
[F#] Your father [A] down against the mine I [D] saw you standing on the opposite [Bm] shore
[F#] The fire [A] went down, the first bombs [D] fell We were [Bm] already bored
[F#] We were [A] already, already [D] bored
Bombs [Bm] are gay, we're [F#] leaving I'm [E] moving past the feeling
[D] [Bm] Bombs are gay, [F#] we're leaving I'm [E] moving past the feeling [D] again
[Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] We used to want to be [Bm] so high [F#] But in [A] my dreams we're still [D] screaming and running through [Bm] the yard
[F#] And all [A] of the walls that we [D] built in the 70s finally [Bm] fall
[F#] And all [A] of the houses we [D] built in the 70s [Bm] finally fall
And nothing [F#] at all, meant [A] nothing at all, it meant [D] nothing
Bombs [Bm] are gay, [F#] we're leaving I'm [E] moving past the [D] feeling
Bombs are [Bm] gay, [F#] we're leaving I'm [E] moving past the feeling [D] into the [Bm] night
So [F#] [A]
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [A]
[D] can you [Bm] understand?
[F#] [C#] I [A] want a daughter while I'm [D] still young
I want [C#m] to hold her hand, [E] show her some [D] beauty before all this damage [Bm] is done
[F#] [A] But there's too much to [Bm] ask, too much to ask
Send me [F#] a sign, [F#m]
[D] we'll move over [Bm] past
[F#] In the [F#m] parking lot we're still [D] waiting but it's already [Bm] past
[F#] So [F#m] move your feet from under the [D] pavement and into the [Bm] grass
Cause it's [F#] already past, it's [A] already, already [D] past
Sometimes [Bm] I can't [F#] believe it I'm [E] moving past the feeling
[D] Sometimes [Bm] I can't believe [F#] it I'm [E] moving past the feeling [D] again
[Bm] Past
[F#] [E]
the [D] feeling, [Bm] past
[F#] [E] the [D] feeling
[Bm]
[F#] [F#m] [B]
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [A] Mama, Jesus, where is the [D] screamer?
[Bm]
[F#] [F#m] Where's [A]
the [D] screamer?
[Bm]
Where's [F#] [A]
that [D] screamer?
[Bm] [F#] [F#m] [A]
[D] [Bm]
[F#] [F#m] [A]
[D]
[F#m]
