C

[Verse 1]
  C                     G
  Walkin on down to the seventh grade dance
        Am                    G
  and I don’t know what we’re goin' there for
  C                              G                       Am
  No ones gonna talk to us we’ll look really stupid just starin'
            G
  at the gymnasium floor

[Pre-Chorus]
F                  C            Bb       F
  I’ll wrestle the beat with my two left feet
                            C                Bb          F
  They’ll point and they’ll stare at what my mom made me wear
                Am                 Dm       Bb  F
  Tomorrow I’ll wake up crying and smiling

[Chorus]
  C
  Oh whoa oh-o whoa-o
  Am                      Gm
  Just another day in the suburbs
          F
  Where behind every cloud
            C   Am              Gm        Bb  F
  There’s a big ball of burning sunshine

[Verse 2]
  C                      G
  Hitchin' a ride to the high school dance
        Am                    G
  And I don’t know what we’re goin' there for
       C                           G
  The girls are so pretty in their shopping mall fashions
      Am         G
  And we’re so invisible to them

[Pre-Chorus]
F                 C       Bb          F
  I feel like I’m in some John Hughes film
                         C            Bb            F
  Like a dream we’ve all had when you can’t run too fast
                 Am                 Dm       Bb  F
  Tomorrow we'll wake up crying and smiling

[Chorus]
  C
  Oh whoa oh-o whoa-o
  Am                      Gm
  Just another day in the suburbs
          F
  Where behind every cloud
            C   Am              Gm
  There’s a big ball of burning sunshine
    Bb      F    C   Bb  F
  Sometimes

[Instrumental]

C  G  Am  G

[Verse 3]
  C                    G
  Drivin' on up to the Hollywood party
        Am                    G
  And I don’t know what we’re goin' there for
          C                  G                  Am
  There’s too many fools and too many rules and dress codes
      G
  And one too many people there

[Pre-Chorus]
F                         C
  They’ll shake hands and grin
          Bb       F
  Sharing eight by tens
                            C        Bb      F
  They’ll point and they’ll laugh at my photograph
                   Am                 Dm      Bb
  Tomorrow they’ll wake up crying and smiling
          F          C
  I'll be cryin' and smilin'
    C
  I said

[Chorus]
  C
  Oh whoa oh-o whoa-o
  Am                      Gm
  Just another day in the suburbs
          F
  Where behind every cloud
            C   Am              Gm
  There’s a big ball of burning sunshine
    Bb      F    C   Bb  F
  Sometimes
  C
  Oh whoa oh-o whoa-o
  Am                        Gm
  Another lovely day in the suburbs
          F
  Where behind every cloud
            C   Am              Gm
  There’s a big ball of burning sunshine
    Bb      F    C   Bb  F   C
  Sometimes
