And we're ^Gliving here in ^EmAllen^Dtown. But the ^Frestlessness was ^Ghanded ^Cdown And it's ^Emgetting very ^Chard to ^Gstaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa^Daaaaaaaaay^{Em D}

Well we're ^Gwaiting here in ^EmAllen^Dtown For the ^CPennsylvania we ^Dnever ^Gfound For the ^Empromises our ^Ateachers ^Dgave ^AIf we worked ^Emhard ^AIf we be^Dhaved.

^GSo the graduations ^Emhang on the wall But they ^Cnever really ^Dhelped us at ^Gall No they ^Emnever taught us ^Awhat was ^Dreal ^AIron or ^Dcoke, ^AChromium ^Dsteel.
