D Bm F# A In the suburbs, I I learned to drive D Bm And you told me we’d never survive, F# A grab your mother’s keys, we’re leaving You always seemed so sure That one day we'd be fighting in a suburban war Your part of town against mine 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 Chorus: D Bm Sometimes I can’t believe it, F# E I’m moving past the feeling D Bm Sometimes I can’t believe it, F# E I’m moving past the feeling D Bm F# A Again The kids want to be so hard But in my dreams, we're still screaming And running through the yard And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall And all of the houses they built in the seventies finally fall Meant nothing at all Meant nothing at all, it meant nothing Chorus: Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling and into the night So can you understand That I want a daughter while I'm still young? I want to hold her hand And show her some beauty before this damage is done But if it's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask Then send me a son Under the overpass In the parking lot, we're still waiting, it's already passed So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass 'Cause it's already passed It's already, already passed Chorus: Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling Sometimes I can't believe it I'm moving past the feeling again I'm moving past the feeling I'm moving past the feeling In my dreams, we're still screaming We're still screaming We're still screaming You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D E F# Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
