                         Am                      D
You were throwing your shoes right up over the wire
                        G                    C
You were rolling out Easy Bake Ovens and tires
                Am                        D
Another whole day on the Bucks County plain
                G
Clouds rolling in, it's feeling like rain
                Cm                       F
Back in the yards and the woods by the pool
                     Bb                          Eb
The leaves were on fire when I came home from school
              Cm                   F
Singing a song that I wrote in myself
             Bb
Singing that I could be something else

You were throwing your shoes right up over the wire
                          C#                  F#
I was sitting there watching on half-buried tires
                   Ebm                     G#
Scratching on sidewalks with fingers and stone
             C#
Waiting for time, feeling alone
            F#m                    B
Taking out pins in the cushions inside
                   E                     A
The rain falling down on the telephone wire
          F#m          B      E    
Falling farther and farther away


                Am                   D
Those were the days of the model airplanes
               G                      C
Shooting up rockets for neighborhood fame
             Am                        D
You on the ground, the remote in your hand
                  G                   
I was sinking on down, my feet in the sand
                    Cm           F
The rock and roll babysitter's tales
                    Bb                      Eb                    
Of nights with the boys running off of the rails
                         Cm                 F
They'd spend the whole night on abandoned farms
        Bb
Burning up in each other's arms

I was carving my name on a chalkboard with nails
                C#
Waiting for somebody else to be there
             F#m            B
Outside, the dim suburban homes
                            E                            A
With their lawns full of ashtrays and their buckets of phones
              F#m        B         E
Ringing off mothers in houses all day

 Am                     D
Back then we had to be cool
       G                   C
But nobody taught me the rules
Am                       D
So I just wrote it all down
          G
On the inside of my fast food paperboard crown
         Cm                           F
Riding bikes before I learned about brakes
              Bb                     Eb
Around and around those cul-de-sac lanes
                   Cm                      F
The teens rolling by in their giant green cars
               Bb
Driving like rain, they were kissing like stars

Melting your crayons over tables of flame
                C#
I was feeling alone, I was feeling insane
             F#m                  B
Dad took a picture on August the ninth
                   E                 A
Of us with the newspaper and the headline
          F#m     B      E Esus E
'Ford Steps Up; Nixon Resigns'
