[Intro]
C Am E G
C Am E G

[Verse]
C               Am  E             G    
In the suburbs, I    I learned to drive
        C                     Am   E                   G                  
And you told me we’d never survive, grab your mother’s keys, we’re leaving
C Am E G
C                    Am   E         G                   
You always seemed so sure, that one day we’d be fighting
C             Am  E             G                
In a suburban war, your part of town against mine
          C                        Am    E           G                        
I saw you standing on the opposite shore, but by the time the first bombs fell
C               Am    E                 G            
We were already bored, we were already, already bored

[Chorus]
C           Am               E           D               
Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling
C           Am               E           D               
Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling
 C   Am E G
Again

[Verse]
    C                Am   E          G                           
The kids wanna be so hard, but in my dreams we’re still screaming
    C                   Am   E                G                    
And running through the yard, when all of the walls that they built
       C                 Am   E               G                
In the seventies finally fall, and all of the houses they built
       C                 Am                         E              G                       
In the seventies finally fall, meant nothing at all, meant nothing at all, it meant nothing

[Chorus]
C           Am               E           D               
Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling
C           Am               E           D               
Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling
    C             Am E G
And into the night
C Am E G

[Verse]
C                     Am E             G       
So can you understand,    why I want a daughter
                C    Am        E                 G                   
While I’m still young, I wanna hold her hand and show her some beauty
  C                       Am   E            G              
Before all this damage is done, but if it’s too much to ask
        C              Am               E  G
If it’s too much to ask, then send me a son
C                 Am E               G                      
Under the overpass,   in the parking lot we’re still waiting
     C             Am E             G                     
It’s already passed,   so move your feet from hot pavement
    C              Am                    E                   G           
And into the grass,  'cause it’s already past, it’s already, already past

[Chorus]
C           Am               E           D               
Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling
C           Am               E           D               
Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling
 C   Am E           D               
Again,   I'm moving past the feeling
CAm E      D               
I’m moving past the feeling
C Am E G

[Outro]
CAm E G     
In my dreams
                 C AmEG
We're still screaming
                 C AmEG
We’re still screaming
                 C AmEG
We’re still screaming
C Am E G
C Am
