Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[Gm]The only

[Verse 1]
normal people
that you know they're doing well
[G]And they'll be out[Gm] there eating breakfast
at the Anilver Court Hotel
[G]And [D]they'll be [Gm]off
and [G]down the highway
in their [Gm]this year's Chevrolet
And they're just three
hours north of Gubbord
On their weekend holiday little [C]getaway
For the [D]only normal [Gm]people[G]
The [Gm]only normal people
that tell you everything's alright
They say the sun comes up each morning
And the stars come out at night
[G]And the[D]y say[G],
Kellogg's still makes corn[Gm]flakes
And that classic [G]Coke is back
And [Gm]you know Reagan's
in the White House
And his hair's a nat[G]ural black
It's a natural [C]fact
Says the [D]only normal [Gm]people[G]
The [Gm]only normal people
That drink their coffee
sweet with [G]cream
That's as they [Gm]gaze out
from their easy chair
They call it TV screens
And as they watch a world of problems
On their cable evening news
You know they [D]won[Gm]der
why those people
[D]Choose to [G]live the way they [Gm]do
Don't they want to [C]do
Like the [D]only normal [Gm]people[G]
The [Gm]only normal people
[D]Do [G]ex [Gm]actly as they should
[G]You[Gm] know they
never borrow money
and their credit's always good
You know they [D]file[Gm]
their honest tax return
a [G]month be[Gm]fore it's due
And wave to all those nice policemen
up on Grandview
Haven't [G]you?
[Gm]How'd it do to [C]you?
They say they [D]are the only normal [G]people
The [Gm]only normal people
who never see cocaine or smack
You know they don't smoke marijuana
and they're miles away from [G]crack
And [Gm]all those pills that
doctor give them help
a sinus head[G]ache some
You [D]know they'll drink
[Gm]because it's social
but they [G]won't have more than one
I'm [Gm]sorry I gotta [C]run
Settle at [D]home[Dm][D]
Home to the normal [G]people
They [Gm]go to church on Sunday
With their happy [G]healthy [D]son
[G]Who's going to run[Gm]
their family busi[G]ness
Just as [Gm]they themselves have [G]done
And [Gm]he will live to own a go[G]lf cart
And a [Gm]backyard swimm[G]ing pool
And he [Gm]won't never sleep with boys
So I think [G]of dropping out of school,
it wasn't set [Gm]to g[C]o
With us [D]all, only normal [G]people
Yeah, the [Gm]only normal people
don't know anything about
[G]Your world of [Gm]sleepless
nights and pressures,
and they never once freak out
You know they run their lives on course,
and they keep a steady even [G]keel
They hear you [Gm]talk about frustra[G]tion
But they don't know how it feels
No, it isn't [C]real
For those [D]uh -uh -uh [Dm]-huh
-hum normal [D]people[G]
They [D]eat their three [Gm]square
[G]mea[Gm]ls a day
[G]And they do their exercise and diet
And always look [Gm]before they leap
And they keep their
seatbelts buckled [G]tight
And so they [D]don't [Gm]get into accidents
And they'll wind up on their backs
They [D]also [Gm]don't get AIDS or can[G]cer
And they don't have heart attacks
Can't you just re[C]lax?
Like the [D]only normal [Gm]people[G]
I'll bet they're down at J .C. Penney's
For [Gm]that riding lawn mower
[G]Now, you [Gm]know that one
that takes attach[G]ments
Like that [Gm]tin blade garden plow
[G]I'll bet you'll pas[Gm]s
them down this morning
as you race to beat the [G]bell
They [Gm]are the only normal people
[G]They're the ones you don't know well,
that you don't [Gm]know [C]well
They're the [D]only normal [G]people
[Gm]That you don't [G]know [C]well
They're the [D]holy,
[Dm]holy normal [G]people
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that you don't know [C]well
They're the [D]holy,
holy normal [G]people[D][G][G]
