Chords with lyrics
*CAPO FIRST FRET*
G+G G/BG/B C majorC
Little boys and little girls dream of big big things
A minorAm D MajorD
They're taught at a tender age just what life should bring
G+G G7G7 C majorC
Get a job, say I do and settle yourself down
A minorAm D MajorD
But what about those of us whose lives are still spinning around
CHORUS:
C majorC D MajorD
Tell me what's so great about picket fences
G+G
Painting them is such a mess
C majorC D MajorD
And a big backyard where kids can play
G+G
I'd probably never get a moment's rest
C majorC D MajorD
And settin the table for five at five
B minorBm A7A7
Only means more dishes to load
Am7Am7 G+G
What's so great about picket fences
Am7Am7 D MajorD G+G
I guess I'll never know
Verse 2:
Here I am in my prime, at least they tell me so
And if I go to sleep at night I always go alone
I guess that I could have it all and someone by my side
But I can't take the give and take, the price is just too high
