[C][Dm][F][Dm]

[Verse 1]
Well, [G]remember
the guy who was a [Dm]football star
he had it made [F]with [Dm]the ladies,
but he never got [G]far
[Am]Five years past,
now he's [Dm]gotten kinda fat
Working eight [F]days a week at
[Dm]the [Am]laundromat

[Verse 2]
With his mama [C]and his [Am]daddy
breathing [Dm]down his neck
About [F]everything he does so much,
it [G]makes him sick
[Am]So he sits home al[C]one,
[G]with the gam[Dm]e on TV
As the crowd [F]goes [G]wild,
he said "that coulda been me"
[C]Just another

[Verse 3]
day in suburbia
It's a [Dm]beautiful day in suburbia
[Em]Best[F] not let it get the best of you
Is it [C]everything you thought it would [G]be?
Re[C]member

[Verse 4]
playing game's
[Dm]at the rich kid's home
His dad owned a bank,
while his mo[G]m was a[Am]lone
Everyday with [G]the mailman,
the [Dm]trashman, the lawn guy
[F]Kid didn't look a damn thing
like [Dm]his d[Am]ad (I knew why)

[Verse 5]
He grew up, got [Am]a job,
[G]mak[Dm]ing 80 grand a year
Had a wife an[F]d a kid all
the [G]guys called a queer
But his dad nev[C]er [Dm]knew,
he was too blind to see
Guess it kinda ran in the [G]family
[C]Just another

[Verse 6]
day in suburbia
It's a [Dm]beautiful day in suburbia
[Em]Best[F] not let it get the best of you
Is it [C]everything you thought it would [G]be?
Re[C]member

[Verse 7]
the girl down
[Dm]the street with the kids
That used to [F]come outside,
but she nev[G]er did
'Cause she was [C]trying to hide [Dm]the bruises
where her old man beat her
'Cause he [F]hit her in the face
with an [Dm]old space heater
He [C]came home

[Verse 8]
drunk and
[Dm]tried to force sex on her
But he [F]didn't see the
.44 stuffed in the cov[Dm]ers
[G]So she [C]waited till he came
[Am]as he li[Dm]e there naked
Be[F]fore she blew his head [Dm]off,
she told him she'd been faking all [C]along
So long for [Dm]everything
you done wrong
Here's a [F]bullet, go to hell,
[Dm]'cause it's where you [G]belong
[C]Just another

[Verse 9]
day in suburbia
It's a [Dm]beautiful day in suburbia
[Em]Best[F] not let it get the best of you
Is it [C]everything you thought it would [G]be?
[C]Just another

[Verse 10]
day in [Dm]suburbi[C]a
Yeah, [Dm]this is how we're
livin' in [Em]suburbia
[F]Best not let it get the best of you
Is it [C]everything you thought it would [G]be?
[Am]No

[Verse 11]
one understands it
No [Ab5]one co[Dm]mprehends it[G]
Guess you had to be [Am]there
From the [F#m]outside [Dm]looki[Am]ng in[Dm]
So I [F]put my

[Verse 12]
Outkast record on
Turn up the volume, 'cause I'm all alone
And [G]scream away...
[F][C][Dm]

[Verse 13]
[C]Remember the cutest
couple [Dm]in the wo[F]rld?
[C]He was a punk and [Dm]she was
daddy's little [F]girl
Gradu[C]ation came,
and [Am]she wanted [C]him[Am] to [F]stay
But he had bigger,
[Am]better dreams waiting [C]out in L.A.
[F]She cri[C]ed and

[Verse 14]
[G]he cred as
[C]the [Dm]plane flew away
She [F]never ever wanted it to [Dm]end this w[F]ay
Two years [Dm]later, she reads in the news
He'd gone [F]on to be a big star,
but nobody knew

[Verse 15]
'Cause he changed up [Dm]his name,
but his heart stayed the same
'Cause [F]every song he wrote was about her,
he claimed
But he never got [C]to tell her,
[Dm]'cause he died that year
From [F]all of the coke and pills and the beer

[Verse 16]
And the whole [Am]world cried,
but just for one day
'Cause [Dm]sooner or later
the pain [G]goes away
[C]Just another

[Verse 17]
day in suburbia
It's a [Dm]beautiful day in suburbia
[Em]Best[F] not let it get the best of you
Is it [C]everything you thought it would [G]be?
[C]Just

[Verse 18]
another day in suburbia
[Dm]Yeah, this is how we're livin' in suburbia
[F]Best not let it get the best of you
Is it [C]everything you thought it would [G]be?
