A     C#    D      A
Oh, oh - I love you
A     C#    D A
Oh, oh - I do
A        C#           D          A
I got a sentimental promise for you
A             C#  D       A
Please don't go away, oh yeah

A       C#m              F#m
I was a high school atom bomb
                  E  A
Going off on the weekends
A       C#m             F#m
Smoking dope and mowing lawns
                     E    A
And I hated all the new trends

A  C#m                   F#m
Me and my friends sang: "Woh-uh-oh-oh-oh"
E      A        C#m           F#m
It's true, the middle of the road
                       E   A
At least it's better than here

Chorus:
 A
Looking for a cause
    D              E
But all I got was Santa Claus
     A                                     D E
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
   A
I feel like a cello
 D               E
Lost somewhere over the Rainbow
 A                               D  E
Way up high, I'm too scared to dream
                 A
But too dumb to die

My daddy always was on strike
Going off with the teamsters
He said that "Everything'll be alright
Not every Sunday can be Easter"

The picket line screamed, "Woah-ooh-whoa-oh-oh!"
(Whoa-ooh-whoa) "Don't cross
Don't cross the line, because
You'll be a scab, not a martyr!"

Chorus - x2
