[Intro 1]
[C][Am][E][G]
[C][Am][E][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]In the suburbs I[Am]
[E]I learned to dri[G]ve
And you [C]told me we'd never sur[Am]vive
[E]Grab your mother's key[G]s we're leavin'

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am][E][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]You always seemed so sur[Am]e
[E]That one day[G] we'd fight in
[C]In a suburban wor[Am]ld
[E]Your part of tow[G]n gets minor
So you're [C]standin' on the opposite [Am]shore
[E]But by the tim[G]e the first bombs fell
[C]We were already [Am]bored
[E]We were already, alr[G]eady bored

[Chorus 1]
[C]Sometimes I can[Am]'t believe it
[E]I'm movin' pas[D]t the feeling
[C]Sometimes I can[Am]'t believe it
[E]I'm movin' pas[D]t the feeling again

[Interlude 2]
[C][Am][E][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[C]Kids wanna be so [Am]hard
[E]But in my dre[G]ams we're still screamin'
and [C]runnin' through the [Am]yard
[E]And all of the wal[G]ls
that they built in the [C]seventies finally [Am]fall
[E]And all of the hou[G]ses
they build in the [C]seventies finally [Am]fall
Meant nothin' at all
[E]Meant nothin' at all[G]

[Chorus 2]
It meant nothin'
[C]Sometimes I can[Am]'t believe it
[E]I'm movin' pas[D]t the feeling
[C]Sometimes I can[Am]'t believe it
[E]I'm movin' pas[D]t the feeling and

[Interlude 3]
[C]into the [Am]night[E][G]
[C][Am][E][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]So can you und[Am]erstand?
[E]Why I want a dau[G]ghter
while I'm still young
[C]I w[Am]anna hold her[E] hand
And [G]show her some beauty
[C]Before this damage is [Am]done
[E]But if it's too[G] much to ask,
if it's [C]too much to ask
[Am]Then send me a son[E][G]

[Verse 5]
[C]Under the ove[Am]rpass
[E]In the parking lot[G] we're still waiting
It's [C]already [Am]passed
[E]So move your fee[G]t from hot pavement
and [C]into the [Am]grass
Cause it's already [E]passed
It's already, [G]already passed!

[Chorus 3]
[C]Sometimes I can[Am]'t believe it
[E]I'm movin' pas[D]t the feeling
[C]Sometimes I can[Am]'t believe it
[E]I'm movin' pas[D]t the feeling again
[C]I'm[Am] movi[E]n' past the fe[D]eling
[C]I'm[Am] movi[E]n' past the fe[D]eling

[Outro 1]
[C][Am][E][G][D]
[C]In [Am]my dr[E]eams we'[G]re still screa[D]min'
[C]We'[Am]re st[E]il[G]l screamin[D]
[C]We'[Am]re st[E]il[G]l screamin[D]
[C][Am][E][G][D]
[C][Am][E][G][D]
