*CAPO FIRST FRET*
G G/B C
Little boys and little girls dream of big big things
Am D
They're taught at a tender age just what life should bring
G G7 C
Get a job, say I do and settle yourself down
Am D
But what about those of us whose lives are still spinning around
CHORUS:
C D
Tell me what's so great about picket fences
G
Painting them is such a mess
C D
And a big backyard where kids can play
G
I'd probably never get a moment's rest
C D
And settin the table for five at five
Bm A7
Only means more dishes to load
Am7 G
What's so great about picket fences
Am7 D G
I guess I'll never know
Verse 2:
Here I am in my prime, at least they tell me so
And if I go to sleep at night I always go alone
I guess that I could have it all and someone by my side
But I can't take the give and take, the price is just too high
REPEAT CHORUS
