[Verse 1]
[Am]Mail or[F]der brides,
[C]tur[G]tlenecks, and trophy wives,
[Am]Had the ways and m[F]eans to breach,
[C]The borders of eas[G]y street,

[Verse 2]
[Am]And to blend right in,[G]
[F]We all sur[C]rounded [Dm]them in
a [F]white [Am]picket fence,
Now [F]both [C]ends meet,

[Verse 3]
Suf[F]ficed to say there's
a time and [G]a place,
So [Am]I wait,
For the [C]tug-of-war [Csus4]an d and[C]
[Dm]and who [C]you'll p[G]ull for,
While [F]between you and me from point
A to point [G]be [Am]is a fine line,
That [C]burns at both our [G]good ends,

[Verse 4]
Two [Am]peas [F]in [C]a pod, a battle axe,
and [G]a bastard child,
[Am]Took one step [F]more and [C]went
straight to the [G]source,
[Am]And to blend right in,[G]
They opened [C]fire [Dm]with [G]their [F]rain checks
spent to [Am]make [F]end[G]s m[F]eet,[G]
[C]

[Verse 5]

a time and [G]a place,
So [Am]I wait,
For the [C]tug-of-war and and and who you'll [G]pull for,
[F]While between you and me from point
A to point [G]be is [Am]a fine line,
That [C]burns at [Dm]both [C]our[Em] good ends[F],

[Verse 6]
[Am]Go on, p[G]aint the w[F]hole town red,[G]
[Am]I'd rather f[G]ollow who [F]cleans up the [C]mess,
[Am]And so I[G][F][D][Dm][F][G][Bb]
