Suburbia

there’s a perfect tab in power tabs this is just for those who preffer chords with lyrics . . enjoy ; ) C Dm F x2 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 Dm with his momma and his Daddy 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 G is it everything you thought it 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 beautiful day in suburbia Em F best not let it get the best of you C G is it everything you thought it would be? C Dm 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 sxx 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 just another day in suburbia , it’s a beautiful day in suburbia Em F best not let it get the best of you C G is it everything you thought it would be? C Dm just another day in suburbia , yeah , this is how we’re living in suburbia Em F best not let it get the best of you C G is it everything you want it to be? 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 Dm ’cause he changed up his name but his heart stayed the same , F ’cause every song he wrote , was about her , he claimed . C Dm he never got to tell her ’cause he 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 just another day in suburbia , it’s a beautiful day in suburbia Em F best not let it get the best of you C G is it everything you thought it would be? C Dm just another day in suburbia , yeah , this is how we’re living in suburbia Em F best not let it get the best of you C G is it everything you want it to be?
