You always seemed so sure,...that one day we?d be fighting

In a suburban war,...your part of town against mine 
          D                        Bm                  F#       A 
I saw you standing on the opposite shore,...but by the time the first bombs fell

We were already bored,...we were already, already bored

    D                   Bm      F#                A 
And running through the yard,...when all of the walls that they built in the  
D                 Bm      F#                A 
Seventies finally fall,...and all of the houses they built in the

So can you understand,w....why I want a daughter while I?m still young? 
          F#                  A 
I want to hold her hand, and show her some beauty 
  D                       Bm      F#             A 
Before all this damage is done,...but if it?s too much to ask 
        D                   Bm                F#    A 
If it?s too much to ask,....then send me a son.... 
 
 
Verse 5: 
 
D                  Bm F#                A 
Under the overpass.....in the parking lot we?re still waiting 
     D              Bm F#              A 
It?s already passed,.....so move your feet from hot pavement 
    D              Bm                    F#                   A 
And into the grass,....cause it?s already past, it?s already, already past
