               G#
So what's the plan, man? What's the dream?
         Cm
We get a bed, two baths, a kitchen, a TV?
             Fm
And then we spawn a couple kids,
tie up all the cash
    C#
And everybody's stuck there when
the marriage turns to trash?

Chorus:
         G#
I want a dumspter, clean it up, put up some lights
              C
I won't get stuck there, I'll only really
need it at night
        Fm                                 Fm7
If you trap me in a house, I'll be your Sylvia Plath
       C#         D#       G#
But an apartment might be alright

I don't know how this deal's gonna go
Sometimes we move so fast, sometimes so slow
But what I know about you is that if we're
gonna do this
We've gotta be able to move

Chorus:
God damn, I want a truck bed, clean it up,
put in some blankets
We'll have fun, we'll run if the bank
tries to take it
If you keep me in one place, I'll be your
Sylvia Plath
But just a little while would be okay
As long as we can still run away
