C Dm F  x2
    C                        Dm
Oh! Well, remember the guy who was a football star?
F
He had it made with the ladies but he never got far.
    C                        Dm
Five years past, now he's gotten kind of fat, 
F
working eight days a week at the Laundromat. 
    C                        Dm
With his Momma and his Daddy breathing down his neck, 
F
about everything he does so much it makes him sick. 
    C                        Dm
So he sits home alone, with the game on TV, 
F
as the crowd goes wild he says, "That coulda been me!"

C                              Dm
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Em F
Best not let it get the best of you
      C                               G
Is it everything you thought it would be?

    C                        Dm
Remember playing games at the rich kid's home?
F
His Dad owned a bank, while his mom was alone.
    C                        Dm
Everyday with the mailman, the trash man, lawn guy...
F
Kid didn't look a damn thing like his Dad (I knew why)
    C                        Dm
He grew up got a job making eighty grand a year
F
Had a wife and kid, all the guys call a queer
    C                        Dm
But his dad never knew, he was too blind to see

he said, "Guess it kinda ran in the family".

C                              Dm
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Em F
Best not let it get the best of you
      C                               G
Is it everything you thought it would be?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/butch_walker/suburbia_crd.html ]
    C                        Dm
Remember the girl down the street with the kids
F
That used to come outside, but she never did?
    C                        Dm
(why?) 'Cause she was trying to hide the bruises where her old man beat her, 
F
'cause he hit her in the face with an old space heater. (ow!)
    C                        Dm
and he came home drunk and tried to force sex on her
F
But he didn't see a 44 stuffed in the covers
    C                        Dm
So she waited 'til he came, he lie there naked
F
Before she blew his head off, she told him she'd been faking 
    C                        Dm
all along, so long for everything you done wrong
F
Here's a bullet, go to hell, 'cause its where you belong!


C                              Dm
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Em F
Best not let it get the best of you
      C                               G
Is it everything you thought it would be?
C                              Dm
Just another day in Suburbia, Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia
Em F
Best not let it get the best of you
      C                           G
Is it everything you want it to be?


C                        Dm
Remember the cutest couple in the world
        F
Ya know he was the punk and she was Daddy's little girl.
    C                        Dm
and graduation came and she wanted him to stay
         F
he had bigger better dreams waiting out in L.A.
     C                        Dm
She cried and he cried as the plane flew away
    F
She never, ever, wanted it to end this way.
C                    Dm
Two years later she reads in the news, 
          F
he'd gone on to be a big star but nobody knew.
           C                           Dm
'cause he changed up his name but his heart stayed the same, 
      F
'cause every song he wrote, was about her, he claimed. 
    C                              Dm
he never got to tell her 'cause he died that year, 
     F
from all of the coke, and the pills, and the beer, 
     C                        Dm
and the whole world cried, but just for one day 
     F
'cause sooner or later, the pain goes away.


C                              Dm
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Em F
Best not let it get the best of you
      C                               G
Is it everything you thought it would be?
C                              Dm
Just another day in Suburbia, Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia
Em F
Best not let it get the best of you
      C                           G
Is it everything you want it to be?
