C Dm F x2
C Dm
oh! well , remember the guy who was a football star?
F
he had it made with the ladies but he never got far .
C Dm
five years past , now he’s gotten kind of fat ,
F
working eight days a week at the laundromat .
C Dm
with his momma and his Daddy breathing down his neck ,
F
about everything he does so much it makes him sick .
C Dm
so he sits home alone , with the game on tv ,
F
as the crowd goes wild he says , “that coulda been me!”
C Dm
just another day in suburbia , it’s a beautiful day in suburbia
Em F
best not let it get the best of you
C G
is it everything you thought it would be?
C Dm
remember playing games at the rich kid’s home?
F
his dad owned a bank , while his mom was alone .
C Dm
everyday with the mailman , the trash man , lawn guy . . .
F
kid didn’t look a damn thing like his dad ( i knew why )
C Dm
he grew up got a job making eighty grand a year
F
had a wife and kid , all the guys call a queer
C Dm
but his dad never knew , he was too blind to see
he said , “guess it kinda ran in the family” .
C Dm
just another day in suburbia , it’s a beautiful day in suburbia
Em F
best not let it get the best of you
C G
is it everything you thought it would be?
C Dm
remember the girl down the street with the kids
F
that used to come outside , but she never did?
C Dm
( why? ) ’cause she was trying to hide the bruises where her old man beat her ,
F
’cause he hit her in the face with an old space heater . ( ow! )
C Dm
and he came home drunk and tried to force sxx on her
F
but he didn’t see A 44 stuffed in the covers
C Dm
so she waited ’til he came , he lie there naked
F
before she blew his head off , she told him she’d been faking
C Dm
all along , so long for everything you done wrong
F
here’s a bullet , go to hell , ’cause its where you belong!
C Dm
just another day in suburbia , it’s a beautiful day in suburbia
Em F
best not let it get the best of you
C G
is it everything you thought it would be?
C Dm
just another day in suburbia , yeah , this is how we’re living in suburbia
Em F
best not let it get the best of you
C G
is it everything you want it to be?
C Dm
remember the cutest couple in the world
F
ya know he was the punk and she was Daddy’s little girl .
C Dm
and graduation came and she wanted him to stay
F
he had bigger better dreams waiting out in l . A .
C Dm
she cried and he cried as the plane flew away
F
she never , ever , wanted it to end this way .
C Dm
two years later she reads in the news ,
F
he’d gone on to be a big star but nobody knew .
C Dm
’cause he changed up his name but his heart stayed the same ,
F
’cause every song he wrote , was about her , he claimed .
C Dm
he never got to tell her ’cause he died that year ,
F
from all of the coke , and the pills , and the beer ,
C Dm
and the whole world cried , but just for one day
F
’cause sooner or later , the pain goes away .
C Dm
just another day in suburbia , it’s a beautiful day in suburbia
Em F
best not let it get the best of you
C G
is it everything you thought it would be?
C Dm
just another day in suburbia , yeah , this is how we’re living in suburbia
