We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About chords

I was [G]supposed to have been a Jesuit priest
or a [C]Naval Academy [G]grad
[C]That was the way that my [G]parents perceived me
[A]Those were the plans that they [D]had
But I [C]couldn't fit the part too [G]dumb or too smart
Ain't it [C]funny how we [G]all turned [D]out
I guess [C]we are the [G]people our parents [D]warned us a [G]bout

You know I [G]coulda worked the rigs when the money was big
Or hopped a [C]freighter south to Trini [G]dad
And when they [C]tried to draft me I earned a [G]college degree
Buyin' [A]time 'til things were not so [D]bad
But [C]then I got a guitar found a [G]job in a bar
Playin' [C]acid rock 'til [G]I was nu [D]mb
Tell me [C]where are the [G]flashbacks they all [D]warned us would [G]come

We are the [D]people, they couldn't figure [G]out
We are the [D]people our parents warned us a [G]bout
[C]Hey hey, [D]Gardner Mc [G]Kay
[D]Take us on the [C]Leaky [G]Tiki [C]with [G]you
[C]Clear [D]skies [G]bound for Shanghai
[D]Sailing cross the [C]ocean [G]blue

Now [G]I got quarters in my loafers tryin' to fight inflation
When it [C]only used to take a [G]cent
Sometimes I [C]wish I was back in my [G]crashpad days
[A]'Fore I knew what cash flow [D]meant
Seems [C]everybody's joggin' or [G]heavy into health s**t
Don't [C]tell me that I [G]ought to get [D]rolfed
'Cause I love [C]cajun mart [G]inis and playin' [D]afternoon [G]golf

We are the [D]people there isn't any [G]doubt
We are the [D]people they still can't figure [G]out
We are the [D]people who love to sing "Twist and [G]Shout"
SHAKE IT UP BABY

We are the [D]people our parents warned us a [G]bout
Id'n' any doubt [D]
Hey hey [G]hey [C]
Gardner Mc [G]Kay [C]
I wanna sail away to [G]day [C]
They warned us a [G]bout [C]
Hey hey [G]hey [C]
C'mon now Gardner Mc [G]Kay [C]
I wanna sail away to [G]day [C]
