VERSE
Am         F       C                G
Mail order brides, turtlenecks, and trophy wives
Am               F        
Had the ways and means to breach
C              G
The borders of easy street
C                  G
And to blend right in
       C
We all surrounded them
     F            C
In a white picket fence
    G         C
Now both ends meet

CHORUS
F       
Sufficed to say theres a time and a place
Am
So I wait
        C                         G
For the tug-of-war and who you'll pull for
F                                                     Am
While between you and me from point A to point B is a fine line
     C                      G
That burns at both our good ends



Am          F          C            G
2 peas in a pod, a battleaxe, and a bastard child
Am             F
took one step more
    C                    G
and went straight to the source
C                  G
and to blend right in
            C
they opened fire with
      F  
their rain checks spent
   C    G    C
to make ends meet


CHORUS


C        G          F          C
    Go on, paint the whole town red
C         G       F                C
I'd rather follow who cleans up the mess
C   G  F D
And so I wait.


   Bbsus
Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
   F
Oh yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh
   C   G
So say yeah!


CHORUS
