           C                          Am
When I was twelve, while checking the mail
                   Em                  F   G
I was admiring the car of the man next door
                C                             Am
And thinking to myself, man, one of these days
Em                                    F               G
I'm gonna have me a house like that with a big, red door
C                           Am
And his yard was mowed, and his grass was green
Em                                     F                      G  G\F#\F\Em
And the driveway was edged and all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly
Em                            F
I had a crush on his wife and I played ball with his son
C                                            G
I pondered how much money he made, went inside and turned the TV on

Chorus:
           C               Am                      Em
And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
    F                     G
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
 C                    Am
And they said, he had a smile on his face                       
          Em           F                    G
His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
                    C
One more thing to say

Verse 2:
C                 Am                                      Em
I was watching TV, having one of mom's famous rice crispy treats
                       F              G
Watching Tom and Jerry, I heard a car horn beep
C                   Am
I ran to the window, his wife and son were home
Em
With bags of stuff they had got at the mall
F                         G
I went in my room and got my glove and ball
C                        Am
I leapt off the stairs, and asked his son could he play
Em                                                 F           G   G\F#\F\Em
And his son looked at his wife and his wife told his son I guess it'll be ok
Em                       F
And that beautiful woman, she walked in that beautiful house
C                                   G
When I realized I forgot my hat, I said I'll be back and turned around

Chorus:
           C               Am                      Em
And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
    F                     G
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
 C                    Am
And they said, he had a smile on his face                       
          Em           F                    G
His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
                    C
One more thing to say

Verse 3:
C                  Am
There was screaming and there was crying
Em                F               G
There was sirens, I thought I was dreamin
C                           Am
And the sun was shining, it was a beautiful day
Em
His wife was talking to an officer
              F                  G
Through the noise I heard her say

Chorus:
           C               Am                      Em
And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
    F                     G
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
 C                    Am
And they said, he had a smile on his face                       
          Em           F                    G
His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
                    C
