VERSE 1:


A   C#m F#m   E A

A       C#m              F#m
I was a high school atom bomb
                E    A
Going off on the weekends
A       C#m             F#m
Smoking dope and mowing lawns
               E        A
And I hated all the new trends


PRE-CHORUS 1:

A  C#m                  F#m        
Me and my friends sang: "Woh-uh-oh-oh-oh"
E    A         C#m           F#m
It's true, the middle of the road
               E          A
At least it's better than here


CHORUS:

A
Looking for a cause
    D             E
But all I got was Santa Clause
    A                                     D    E
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
  A                       
I feel like a Jell-o
D                E
Lost somewhere over the Rainbow
A                 D      E
I'm too scared to dream
                A
But too dumb to die

A   C#m F#m   E A (x2)


VERSE 2:

A                C#m   F#m
My daddy always was on strike
                         E   A
Going off with the teamsters
                             C#m   F#m
He said that everything will be alright
                         E
Not every Sunday can be Easter


PRE-CHORUS 2:

A   C#m                    F#m              E
The Picket-Line screamed: "Woh-uh-oh-oh-oh"
      A            C#m         
Don't cross, don't cross the line
    F#m                             E  A
Because you'll be a scab, not a martyr


CHORUS:

A
Looking for a cause
    D             E
But all I got was Santa Clause
    A                                     D    E
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
  A                       
I feel like a Jell-o
D                E
Lost somewhere over the Rainbow
A                 D      E
I'm too scared to dream
                
But too dumb to...

Looking for a cause

But all I got was Santa Clause

I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
  A                       
I feel like a Jell-o
D                E
Lost somewhere over the Rainbow
A                 D      E
I'm too scared to dream
                A
But too dumb to die
