[Verse]
G
Beer cans to the 
ceiling
Cadd9
Ashtray on the floor
G
Laundry on the sofa
D
Need I say more
   G
I walked out with 
my 
hair wet
  Cadd9
I caught one awful 
cold
G
Should have been more 
careful
             D
Should have done like 
I was told
G
 I can\'t believe it
Cadd9
 How could it be
      G
Just like you said 
could happen
D
So it did to me
G
Just when I might 
have
Cadd9
Seen the light of 
day
G
 I crossed my eyes \'
til they
D
Stayed that way

[Chorus]
Cadd9
     I keep my distance
D
 As best I can
Cadd9                   
Living out my time here 
    G           D
in Never Never land
      Cadd9
And I can\'t grow up
                G  
\'Cause I\'m too old 
    Cadd9
now
           G

G
The boogie man 
came calling
Cadd9
  I said I wasn\'t 
home
G
 He didn\'t believe 
me
D
 He wasn\'t alone

 He had my number
Cadd9
 He got my goat
G
 He bought my tickets
D
And paid off my note
G
And he left in a hurry

Said he couldn\'t stay
G
I guess he had his 
reasons

I\'m not the one to say

Lets go chase tornadoes
Cadd9
Just me and you
G
You don\'t often catch \'em
     D
But man when you do
G
Just take my catch rope
    Cadd9
And crawl out on the wing
G
We won\'t come down \'till we
D
Own that thing
            G
Then we\'ll sit out on 
the front porch
Cadd9
Quiet as a mouse
G
One last time before they

Close on the house
