C5   
In 1900 you held hands and felt like you'd scored  
                            F5 
In 1910 you'd never need a horse anymore  
   D5 
In 1920 you could dance  
   C5 
In 1930 lose your pants  
   G5                        C5 
In 1940 you could go to war really soon  

In 1950 you could just be dull and a bore  
   E5                    A5    A5 G5 
In 1960 set the world on fire  
F5        G5     C5       F5 
That was then, this is now 
    C5                G5      C5  
And nothing's blowin in the wind  
 
Chorus: 
        C5  
Screwed up, that's the problem  
                              F5 
You're going down, down, down, down, down  
                        G5 
Screwed up, that's your problem  
                                    C5 
You're coming unwound wound, wound, wound  

You're wasting time seeking comfort  
                      F5  
from any sight or any sound  
                              C5 
I knew you when you weren't a bit screwed up  
    G5                                C5       
Now what you got is spreading around  
 
It really doesn't matter if you know how to sing  

The only thing that matters is the girl that you bring  

So when I saw you sitting there just asking for some curly hair  

I knew that I was getting where I wanted to be  

But someone must have warned you, so it's Anchors Aweigh  

This Johnny's marching home again tonight  

You couldn't leave quietly You had to tell the world and loud  
 
Chorus 
 
 
C5 
I'm getting on my nerves I'm getting on my nerves and  
E5                                           A5    A5 G5 
everything you're throwing at me coming up a curve 
F5       G5     C5       F5 
Swing & miss, Swing & miss  
C5                G5           C5 
Swing & miss and then you're out  
 
Chorus
