C            Em

Here we stand like an Adam and an Eve

Dm           G

Waterfalls, the Garden of Eden

C               Em

Two fools in love so beautiful and strong

Dm                    G

The birds in the trees are smiling upon them

B                      Em                B        Em

From the age of the dinosaurs cars have run on gasoline

C        Em                   C          Dm

Where, where have they gone? Now, it's nothing but flowers



C                   G                  F           C

There was a factory, now there are mountains and rivers

G            F

You got it, you got it

C                       G                 F            C

We caught a rattlesnake, now we've got something for dinner

G            F

You got it, you got it

D                         A                G            D

There was a shopping mall, now it's all covered with flowers

A            G

You got it, you got it

D                   A          G        D

If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower

A            G

You got it, you got it



C         Em

Years ago I was an angry young man

Dm         G

I'd pretend that I was a billboard

C            Em

Standing tall by the side of the road

Dm              G

I fell in love with a beautiful highway

B                Em                    B               Em

This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees

C       Em                 C          Dm

Where, where is the town? Now, it's nothing but flowers

Dm                A            Dm             A

The highways and cars were sacrificed for agriculture

Fm                             C   Fm                   G

I thought that we'd start all over, but I guess I was wrong



C                      G                    F       C

Once there were parking lots, now it's a peaceful oasis

G            F

You got it, you got it

C                    G               F             C

This was a Pizza Hut, now it's all covered with daisies

G            F

You got it, you got it

D                         A              G    D

I miss the Honky Tonks, Dairy Queens and 7-Elevens

A            G

You got it, you got it

D                           A      G           D

And as things fell apart, nobody payed much attention

A            G

You got it, you got it



D                         A               G              D

I dream of cherry pies, candy bars and chocolate chip cookies

A            G

You got it, you got it

D                      A           G              D

We used to microwave, now we just eat nuts and berries

A            G

You got it, you got it

D                           A               G         D

This was a discount store, now it's turned into a cornfield

A            G

You got it, you got it

D                             A            G              D

Don't leave me stranded here, I can't get used to this lifestyle
