Capo on 6th fret
Two [G]kids from Tacoma in a '[B7]72 Nova
No p[Em]ill and barely old enough to d[C]rink
Learned the [G]ropes and tested science
Started [B7]pentecostal riots
In ju[Em]st five minutes behind the roller-[C]rink
In the [Cm]backseat brings
The American d[G]ream on a shoestring
First you gr[C]ow it, then you show it
Give a good pu[G]sh just like a Brady
Say you'll l[D]ove them 'till your eighty
Too s[G]oon to be a mother and father
But too lat[C]e for the alma mater
Yeah it's alw[G]ays in the water
[D]Babies makin' b[G]abies
Between di[G]plomas and the diapers
They b[B7]ecome couch quarter finders
[Em]Savin' up for a Maytag microw[C]ave
Oh but a[G]ll has been forgiven
On the d[B7]ay the water christened
The [Em]best thing that could have happened by mist[C]ake
The American d[G]ream on a shoestring
First you gr[C]ow it, then you show it
Give a good pu[G]sh just like a Brady
Say you'll l[D]ove them 'till your eighty
Too s[G]oon to be a mother and father
But too lat[C]e for the alma mater
Yeah it's alw[G]ays in the water
[D]Babies makin' b[G]abies [D] [G] [C] [G] [D]
Well it's a t[G]ried and true equation
Maintains a s[B7]mall town population
And tu[Em]rns us all into a famil[C]y
The American d[G]ream on a shoestring
First you gr[C]ow it, then you show it
Give a good pu[G]sh just like a Brady
Say you'll l[D]ove them 'till your eighty
Too s[G]oon to be a mother and father
But too lat[C]e for the alma mater
Yeah it's alw[G]ays in the water
[D]Babies makin' b[Em]abies [G]
Yes it's a[G]lways in the water,
