[D] [C]
All you kids get out the back door [C] I've never seen her this mad before
She took all her favorite things down from the window
And [G] broke them all over her clean floor
It's Saturday at the mansion [C] The oldest boy walks with a slouch
[Am] The young ones are wild in back of the house
And she [G] gave up and went back to sleep on the couch
[F] Something as simple as boys [Am] and girls
[G] Gets tossed all around and lost in [A] the world
[F] Something as hard as a prayer on your [A] back
[C] It'll be a [G] long time [G] for [Am] an answer
[C]
[G] [D]
[G] [C]
When I was little I'd stare at her picture
And talk to the mother [F] of God
[C] I swear sometimes I'd see her lips move
[G] Like she was trying to say something [C] to me
When I was 18 I moved to Florida
[F] Like everyone sick of the cold does
[C] And I waited on old people waiting to die
Oh I [G] waited on them until I was
[D] [F] Something as simple as boys and [D] girls
[G] Gets tossed all around and lost [A] in the world
[Am] [F] Something as hard as a prayer [Am] on your back
Wait a long time for an answer
[C]

[C] [D]
[G]
[C] So I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor
One day I [Am] won't live here anymore
Someone will wonder who lived here before
And [G] went on their way
I live [G] too many miles from the ocean
[C] And I'm getting older and I
I get up every morning with my cup of coffee
And I talk to [G] the mother of God
[D] [F] Something as simple as boys [C] and girls
[G] Gets tossed all around and lost in [A] the world
[Am] [F] Something as hard as a prayer on your [A] back
[C]
Wait [G] a long time for [Am] an answer
Wait a [G] long time for an [Am] answer

[F] [Am] it's alright
[G] Maybe [A] we [Am] won't [G] fight anymore
[G] [D] [F] Maybe [A]
[G] he's waiting at the [Am] end [G] of everything
[F] I [F] don't know
I don't know

But [F] maybe, maybe [G] it's alright
