Chords with lyrics
Capo on 6th fret
G+G B7B7
Two kids from Tacoma in a '72 Nova
E minorEm C majorC
No pill and barely old enough to drink
G+G
Learned the ropes and tested science
B7B7
Started pentecostal riots
E minorEm C majorC
In just five minutes behind the roller-rink
C minorCm
In the backseat brings
G+G
The American dream on a shoestring
C majorC
First you grow it, then you show it
G+G
Give a good push just like a Brady
D MajorD
Say you'll love them 'till your eighty
G+G
Too soon to be a mother and father
C majorC
But too late for the alma mater
G+G
Yeah it's always in the water
D MajorD G+G
Babies makin' babies
G+G
Between diplomas and the diapers
B7B7
They become couch quarter finders
E minorEm C majorC
Savin' up for a Maytag microwave
G+G
Oh but all has been forgiven
B7B7
On the day the water christened
E minorEm C majorC
The best thing that could have happened by mistake
G+G
The American dream on a shoestring
C majorC
First you grow it, then you show it
G+G
Give a good push just like a Brady
D MajorD
Say you'll love them 'till your eighty
G+G
Too soon to be a mother and father
C majorC
But too late for the alma mater
G+G
Yeah it's always in the water
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
Babies makin' babies
G+G
Well it's a tried and true equation
B7B7
Maintains a small town population
E minorEm C majorC
And turns us all into a family
G+G
The American dream on a shoestring
C majorC
First you grow it, then you show it
G+G
Give a good push just like a Brady
D MajorD
Say you'll love them 'till your eighty
G+G
Too soon to be a mother and father
C majorC
But too late for the alma mater
G+G
Yeah it's always in the water
D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Babies makin' babies
G+G
Yes it's always in the water,
D MajorD G+G B7B7 E minorEm C majorC D MajorD G+G
Babies makin' babies
