[Intro 1]
[E][A][E][A]
[E][A][E][A]

[Verse 1]
[E]Quarter in a payphone
Drying laundry on the line
Watching [D]Sun Tea in the window
Pocket [A]Watch tellin' time
[E]Seems like only yesterday,
I'd get a blank cassette
Re[D]cord the country countdown,
'cause I [A]couldn't buy it [E]yet[A]

[Verse 2]
If we drove [E]all the way to Dallas
Just to buy an Easter dress
We'd take a[D]long a Rand McNally
Stand in [A]line to pay for gas
God [E]knows that shifting gears
Ain't what it used to be
I learned to [D]drive that 55
Just like a [A]queen, three on a tree

[Chorus 1]
[E]Hey whatever happened [A]to
Waitin' your [C#m]turn
Doing it [A]all by hand
'Cause when [E]everything
is handed to [A]you
It's all only [C#m]worth
as much as the [A]time you put in
It [D]all just seems so good the way we [A]had it
[D]Back before everything be[A]came

[Interlude 1]
Auto[E]matic[A][C#m][A]

[Verse 3]
[E]If you had something to say
You'd write it on a piece of paper
Then you [D]put a stamp on it
And they'd [A]get it three days later
[E]Boys would call the girls
And girls would turn them down
Staying [D]married was on the way
to [A]work your problems out

[Chorus 2]
[E]Hey whatever happened [A]to
Waitin' your [C#m]turn
Doing it [A]all by hand
'Cause when [E]everything
is handed to [A]you
It's all only [C#m]worth
as much as the [A]time you put in
It [D]all just seems so good the way we [A]had it
[D]Back before everything be[A]came

[Interlude 2]
Auto[E]matic, [A]yeah[C#m][A]
Auto[E]matic[A][C#m][A]

[Verse 4]
Let's [E]pull the windows down
Windows with the cranks
Come [D]on, let's take a picture
The [A]kind you gotta shake

[Chorus 3]
[E]Hey whatever happened [A]to
Waitin' your [C#m]turn
Doing it [A]all by hand
'Cause when [E]everything
is handed to [A]you
It's all only [C#m]worth
as much as the [A]time you put in
It [D]all just seems so good the way we [A]had it
[D]Back before everything be[A]came

[Outro 1]
Auto[E]matic, [A]yeah[C#m][A]
Auto[E]matic[A][C#m][A][E]
