                        For ease of playing, I included the verse progression only once per verse.
                         The chords above the text show where the chords change in relation to the lyrics.

Cadd4/G            Am6                                        
Someday, I'm gonna live
        Dm7add2         Cadd4/F           
In your house up on the hill
              Cadd4/G                Am6                                   
And when your skinhead neighbor goes?missing

I'll?plant a garden?in the yard then
               Cadd4/G    Am6                     
They're gluing roses?on a flatbed
           Dm7add2         Cadd4/F                                        
You should see it, I mean thousands
       Cadd4/G            Am6                                       
I grew up here 'til it all went up in flames

From my phone and see my life

The screen turns into a tidal wave
            Cadd4/G            Am6                            
Then it's a dorm room like a hedge maze
           Dm7add2         Cadd4/F Cadd4/G                           
And when I find you, you touch my leg
