Suburbia

    C                        Dm
Oh! Well, remember the guy who was a
 football star?
F
He had it made with the ladies but 
he never got far.
    C                        Dm
Five years past, now he's gotten 
kind of fat,
F
working eight days a week at the 
Laundromat.
    C                       
With his Momma and his Daddy 
 Dm
breathing down his neck,
F
about everything he does so much it 
makes him sick.
    C                        Dm
So he sits home alone, with the game
 on TV,
F
as the crowd goes wild he says, 
"That coulda been me!"

C                              Dm
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a
 beautiful day in Suburbia
Em F
Best not let it get the best of you
      C                        
Is it everything you thought it 
       G
would be?

    C                        Dm
Remember playing games at the rich 
kid's home?
F
His Dad owned a bank, while his mom 
was alone.
    C                        Dm
Everyday with the mailman, the trash
 man, lawn guy...
F
Kid didn't look a damn thing like 
his Dad (I knew why)
    C                        Dm
He grew up got a job making eighty 
grand a year
F
Had a wife and kid, all the guys 
call a queer
    C                        Dm
But his dad never knew, he was too 
blind to see

he said, "Guess it kinda ran in the 
family".

C                              Dm
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a

Remember the girl down the street 
with the kids
F
That used to come outside, but she 
never did?
    C                        Dm
(why?) 'Cause she was trying to hide
 the bruises where her old man beat 
her,
F
'cause he hit her in the face with 
an old space heater. (ow!)
    C                        Dm
and he came home drunk and tried to 
force sex on her
F
But he didn't see a 44 stuffed in 
the covers
    C                        Dm
So she waited 'til he came, he lie 
there naked
F
Before she blew his head off, she 
told him she'd been faking
    C                        Dm
all along, so long for everything 
you done wrong
F
Here's a bullet, go to hell, 'cause 
its where you belong!

C                        Dm
Remember the cutest couple in the 
world
        F
Ya know he was the punk and she was 
Daddy's little girl.
    C                        Dm
and graduation came and she wanted 
him to stay
         F
he had bigger better dreams waiting 
out in L.A.
     C                        Dm
She cried and he cried as the plane 
flew away
    F
She never, ever, wanted it to end 
this way.
C                    Dm
Two years later she reads in the 
news,
          F
he'd gone on to be a big star but 
nobody knew.
           C                     
'cause he changed up his name but 
      Dm
his heart stayed the same,
      F
'cause every song he wrote, was 
about her, he claimed.
    C                              
he never got to tell her 'cause he 
Dm
died that year,
     F
from all of the coke, and the pills,
 and the beer,
     C                        Dm
and the whole world cried, but just 
for one day
     F
'cause sooner or later, the pain 
goes away.


C                              Dm
