♫ Verse 1:

F#m11
The living room
F#m11                                  Aadd9
The curly sheepskin rug we called “the furry”
Aadd9                       G#5 G5 F#m11
And sometimes I wonder why
F#m11                                 Aadd9                                    G#5 G5
The plastic clock, the macrame owl, and the butcher block couch are on my mind

♫ Chorus: 

E        Asus2   F#m7            Am/F#                E
I wonder why my parents chose a brown and orange scheme
E    Asus2       F#m7  G6sus2  E
And why that seemed okay to me
E        Asus2    F#m7          Am/F#      E
I wonder why the kitchen was an avocado green
E       Asus2     F#m7         G6sus2
And the upstairs bathroom was peach

♫ Verse 2:

F#m11
The northern lights
F#m11
We saw them in Vermont one
       Aadd9
night from the car
Aadd9                       G#5 G5 F#m11
But only once, I wonder why
                                                Aadd9
The aliens who landed on the roof, they left me there
Aadd9                         G#5 G5 F#m11
And didn’t take me to the sky
F#m11                                      E
I’ve escaped into my childhood memories tonight

♫ Chorus: 

E        Asus2   F#m7            Am/F#        E
I wonder why my corduroys were always light blue
E      Asus2     F#m7      G6sus2 E
And I never had a TV in my bedroom
E      Asus2       F#m7              Am/F#
Just a flame from an electric candle on my windowsill
F#m7              D/F#                F#m7        Aadd9      G#5 G5
And I dreamed of my melodies touching yoooooooooooooooouuuuuuu

F#m11                               Aadd9                      G#5 G5 E
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

♫ Chorus: 

E        Asus2    F#m          Am/F#
I wonder why the marimekko fabric on the
E     Asus2   G6sus2 F#m11
wall was ever taken down
E        Asus2   F#m7             Am/F#        E
I wonder how a transistor radio held up to my ear
E          Asus2   F#m7
Brought me to heaven
        D/F#             F#m11
And it’s still leading me here

♫ Outro:  

F#m11  Aadd9  G#5  G5  F#m11
