Chords with lyrics
Intro -x2-: F Bb Dm Bb
F
Quarter in a payphone
Drying laundry on the line
Eb
Watching sun tea in the window
Bb
Pocket watch for telling time
F
Seems like only yesterday
I'd get a blank cassette
Eb
Record the Country Countdown
Bb
'Cos I couldn't buy it yet
Interlude: F Bb
F
If we drove all the way to Dallas
Just to buy an Easter dress
Eb
We'd take along a Rand McNally
Bb
Stand in line to pay for gas
F
God knows that shifting gears
Ain't what it used to be
Eb
I learned to drive that '55
Bb
Just like a Queen three on a tree
F Bb
Hey whatever happened to
Dm
Waiting your turn
Bb
Doing it all by hand
F Bb
'Cos when everything is handed to you
Dm Bb
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
Eb Bb
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Eb Bb F
Back before everything became, Automatic
Interlude: Bb Dm Bb
F
If you had something to say
You'd write in on a piece of paper
Eb
And you'd put a stamp on it
Bb
And they'd get it three days later
F
Boys would call the girls
And girls would turn them down
Eb
Staying married was the only way
Bb
To work your problems out
F Bb
Hey whatever happened to
Dm
Waiting your turn
Bb
Doing it all by hand
F Bb
'Cos when everything is handed to you
Dm Bb
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
Eb Bb
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Eb Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Back before everything became, Automatic, yeah
F Bb Dm Bb
Automatic
F
Lets's roll the windows down
Windows with the cranks
Eb
Come on let's take a picture
Bb
The kind you gotta shake
F Bb
Hey whatever happened to
Dm
Waiting your turn
Bb
Doing it all by hand
F Bb
'Cos when everything is handed to you
Dm Bb
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
Eb Bb
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Eb Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Back before everything became, Automatic, yeah
F
Automatic
