Tom: C

C            Em 
Here we stand like an Adam and an Eve 
Dm           G 
Waterfalls, the Garden of Eden 
C               Em 
Two fools in love so beautiful and strong 
Dm                    G 
The birds in the trees are smiling upon them 
B                      Em                B        Em 
From the age of the dinosaurs cars have run on gasoline 
C        Em                   C          Dm 
Where, where have they gone? Now, it's nothing but flowers 
C                   G                  F           C 
There was a factory, now there are mountains and rivers 
G            F 
You got it, you got it 
C                       G                 F            C 
We caught a rattlesnake, now we've got something for dinner 
G            F 
You got it, you got it 
D                         A                G            D 
There was a shopping mall, now it's all covered with flowers 
A            G 
You got it, you got it 
D                   A          G        D 
If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower 
A            G 
You got it, you got it 
C         Em 
Years ago I was an angry young man 
Dm         G 
I'd pretend that I was a billboard 
C            Em 
Standing tall by the side of the road 
Dm              G 
I fell in love with a beautiful highway 
B                Em                    B               Em 
This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees 
C       Em                 C          Dm 
Where, where is the town? Now, it's nothing but flowers 
Dm                A            Dm             A 
The highways and cars were sacrificed for agriculture 
Fm                             C   Fm                   G 
I thought that we'd start all over, but I guess I was wrong 
C                      G                    F       C 
Once there were parking lots, now it's a peaceful oasis 
G            F 
You got it, you got it 
C                    G               F             C 
This was a Pizza Hut, now it's all covered with daisies 
G            F 
You got it, you got it 
D                         A              G    D 
I miss the Honky Tonks, Dairy Queens and 7-Elevens 
A            G 
You got it, you got it 
D                           A      G           D 
And as things fell apart, nobody payed much attention 
A            G 
You got it, you got it 
D                         A               G              D 
I dream of cherry pies, candy bars and chocolate chip cookies 
A            G 
You got it, you got it 
D                      A           G              D 
We used to microwave, now we just eat nuts and berries 
A            G 
You got it, you got it 
D                           A               G         D 
This was a discount store, now it's turned into a cornfield 
A            G 
You got it, you got it 
D                             A            G              D 
Don't leave me stranded here, I can't get used to this lifestyle
