  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
