[Am] In the [C]suburbs of our [G]dreams, hmm-[D/F#]hmm-mm
At [Am]night my father [C]closed
his eyes, he [G]saw the new car [D/F#]in the drive
My [Am]mother standing [C]in the doorway,
[G]Friday night, a [D/F#]smile on her face
And the voice I can hear in my head
Chorus 2
[Em]Little boy, [Am]don't be scared

We [Am]only need a [C]little space
Just [G]somewhere we could [D/F#]call our place
My [Am]mother standing [C]in the doorway
[G]Friday night, a [D/F#]smile on her face
[Am]These things always [C]start so small
With [G]no applause and [D/F#]no drum roll
And [Am]I came running [C]up the hallway
[G]See the car turn [D/F#]in the driveway, hmm-hmmm
