[G]Things are okay with [D]me these days
[Dm]Got a good job, [G]got a good office
[C]Got a new wife, [F]got a new life
And the [Am]family's [D]fine

[Verse 4]
[G]Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadys
And the [D]king and the queen of the prom
[G]Riding around with the [G]car top down
and the [C]radio on
[G]Nobody looked any [D]finer
Or was [G]more of a hit at the [C]Parkway Diner
[G]We never knew we could [F]want more than that
out of [E]life
Surely [Am]Brenda and [G]Eddie
Would [C]always know [D]how to sur[G]vive
[F][C][D]
[G][F][C][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Brenda and Eddie were still going steady
in the [D]summer of '75
[G]When they decided
the [G]marriage would be at the [C]end of July
[G]Everyone said they were [D]crazy
[G]Brenda you know you're [C]much too lazy
And [G]Eddie could never af[F]ford
to live that kind of [E]life
But [Am]there we were [G]wavin'
[C]Brenda and [D]Eddie good[G]bye[F][C][D]

[Bridge 2]
They [C]got an apartment with deep pile carpet
And a [D]couple of paintings from [G]Sears
A [C]big waterbed
that they bought with the bread
They had [D]saved for a couple of [G]years
They [C]started to fight
when the money got tight
And they [D]just didn't count on the [Em]tears
[A][D]

[Bridge 3]
They [C]lived for a while in a very nice style
But it's [D]always the same in the [G]end
They [C]got a divorce as a matter of course
And they [D]parted the closest of [G]friends
Then the [C]king and the queen
went back to the green
But you can [D]never go back there a[Em]gain
[A][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Brenda and Eddie had had it already
by the [D]summer of '75
From the [G]high to the low
to the [G]end of the show
For the [C]rest of their lives
They [G]couldn't go back to the [D]greasers
The [G]best they could do
was pick [C]up the pieces
[G]We always knew they would [F]both
find a way to get [E]by
[Am]That's all I [G]heard about [C]Brenda and [D]Eddie
[Am]Can't tell you [G]more than I [C]told you [D]already
And [Am]here we are [G]wavin'
[C]Brenda And [D]Eddie good[G]bye[F][C][D]
