Oh G/Foh, oh G/Eoh, oh Dsus4oh Dsus2
Well, they Cgot an apartment with deep pile carpet
And a Dcouple of paintings from GSears
A Cbig waterbed that they bought with the bread
They had Dsaved for a couple of Gyears
They Cstarted to fight when the money got tight
And they Djust didn't count on the Emtears, woh Amoh, woh oh...yeah rock n roll

But it's Dalways the same in the endG
They Cgot a divorce as a matter of course
And they Dparted the closest of friendsG
Then the Cking and the queen went back to the green
But you can Dnever go back there aEmgain, oh Amoh, oh Doh
GBrenda and Eddie had had it already by the Dsummer of seventy fiveD C
>From Gthe high to the low to G/Bthe end of the show

They Gcouldn't go back to the DgreasersD C
The Gbest they could do was pick Cup their pieces
