[Verse]
        C    
Here we stand
Em                     Cmaj7
■  Like an Adam and an Eve  
D            G               C   
■ Waterfalls ■ The Garden of Eden
             C   
Two fools in love
   C                   
So beautiful and strong
D                      G
The birds in the trees ■
                 B7  
Are smiling upon them
                    Em       
From the age of the dinosaurs
     B           Em      
Cars have run on gasoline
C     Em                  
Where where have they gone
F        G                  
Now it's nothing but flowers
C                  
There was a factory
G             F             C     
Now there are mountains and rivers
G F   C                
■ You got it you got it


[Chorus]
C                      
We caught a rattlesnake
G          F             C     
Now we got something for dinner
             G F   D 
We got it we ■ got it
      D                  
There was a shopping mall
A            G            D       A
Now it's all covered with flowers ■
G D                            
■ ■ You've got it you've got it
           A       
If this is paradise
         G     D        
I wish I had a lawnmower

[Verse]
C                          
You've got it you've got it
      Em G  
Years ■  ago
                     Cmaj7 D
I was an angry young man   ■
    Dm7    
I'd pretend
G              C        
■ That I was a billboard
         C   
Standing tall
Em                G       
■  By the side of the road
D           Dm7  D
■ I fell in love ■
G                  B      
■ With a beautiful highway
                Em         
This used to be real estate
    B                    Em   
Now it's only fields and trees
C     Em               
Where where is the town
F        G           D      
Now it's nothing but flowers


[Chorus]
                 A    A7
The highways and cars ■ 
D                   A           F
Were sacrificed for agriculture ■
                          C    F
I thought that we'd start over ■
                  G     C  
But I guess I was wrong hey
     C                      
Once there were parking lots
G                     C    
■ Now it's a peaceful oasis
G       F            
You got it you got it
C                   
This was a Pizza Hut
G            F            C      
Now it's all covered with daisies
G   F              D 
You got it you got it
           G          
I miss the honky tonks
A     G          D           
Dairy Queens and SevenElevens
A   G                
You got it you got it
D                       
And as things fell apart
A      G         D        
Nobody paid much attention
A          G         
You got it you got it

[Chorus]
  D                   
I dream of cherry pies
D                                    
Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies
D                    
You got it you got it
           Esus4    
We used to microwave
A           Em7          D      
Now we just eat nuts and berries
               Em7       
You got it you ■   got it
D                        
This was a discount store
                                 Esus4
Now it's turned into a cornfield ■    
Em7                  
You got it you got it
D                           
Don't leave me stranded here


[End]
A       D                         
I can't get used to this lifestyle
