FALL IS JUST SOMETHING GROWNUPS INVENTED
As recorded by The Hives
(2007 single release)
[Intro]
A E A
Woo-hoo!
[Verse 1]
A
They say our summer vacation has come to an end
E A
And we simply have no more holidays to spend
A D A
They say "No more barefoot, no playing around the pool"
E A
They say now it's time for us to "Go back to school"
A
Got all my friends and a teacher, okay
A
But why do we really have to study all day?
D
Well, see I'm on to your scam and I'll tell ya how
A E A
We ended up with a Fall that we know in all
[Chorus]
F#m E
A time was invented to keep the kids in the hall
D A
They gave it a name and we all know it is 'Fall'
D
The line of the story that I have presented
F N.C. A D A E A D A E A
Fall is just something that grown ups invented
[Verse 2]
A D
Though some things in Fall are just too good to pass
A
Jumping in leaves and Halloween is a gas
D A
But I'd rather see to it that the truth be told
A
So I better do it now before I grow old
A
They wanted a break after the summer disarray
A
To rest up then handle the stress of Christmas day
D A
So the grown ups got together and made up the rule
E A
That kids shouldn't be playing, no they should be in school
[Chorus]
F#m E
A time was invented to keep the kids in the hall
D A
They gave it a name and we all know it is 'Fall'
D
The line of the story that I have presented
F N.C. A D A E A D A E A
Fall is just something that grown ups invented
[Bridge]
D A N.C. A D A N.C. A D A N.C.
A D A N.C.
Kick it!
[Chorus]
F#m E
A time was invented to keep the kids in the hall
D A
They gave it a name and we all know it is 'Fall'
D
The line of the story that I have presented
F N.C.
Fall is just something that grown ups invented
[Outro]
A
Fall is just something that grown ups invented
A
Fall is just something that grown ups invented
A
Fall is just something that grown ups invented
