[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][Em][A][D][A][Em]
[A]Why must

[Verse 1]
[D]every
generation [Em]think their folks are square
And [G]no [A]matter where their heads are,
they know Mom's [D]ain't there
'Cause I swore when I was small
[G]that I'd [Em]remember when
[G]I knew [A]what's wrong with them,
that I was smaller [D]then

[Verse 2]
[D]Determined [A]to re[D]member
[A]all the[Em] cardinal rules
[G]Like [Em]sun showers a[A]re legal
grounds [D]for cut[A]tin' [D]school
[A]I know I[D] have forgotten
[Em]maybe one or two
And [G]I hope that [A]I recall them all
be[D]fore the baby's [G]due
[Em]And I know he'll have
a ques[G]tion or [D]two
[G]Like

[Verse 3]
"Hey, [A]Pop,
can [F#m]I go ride my z[Bm]oom[Em]
It goes two hundred [G]miles [A]an
[F#m]hour suspended on b[Bm]alloons
[Em]And can I put a [A]droplet [G]of this [A]new
[F#m]stuff on my [Bm]tongue
And [Em]imagine [D]frothing [Em]dragons while
you sit and wreck your [E]lungs"[D]
And I must be permissive,
[F#m]understa[Bm]nding of the yo[A]unger genera[D]tion[G]

[Verse 4]
[G][A][G]
[A]Then I'll kno[D]w that all I've
learned [Em]my kid assumes
An[A]d all my deepest worries
must [D]be his car[A]toons[D]
And [A]still I'll [D]try to them him
[Em]all the things I've done
[G]Relat[A]ing to what he can do
when he be[D]comes [A]a man[D][G]
[Em]And still he'll stick his
[G]fin[A]gers in the [D]fan

[Verse 5]
And [Em]"Hey, [G]Pop,
[A]my [F#m]girlfriend's only t[Bm]hree[Em]
She's got her [A]own videophone and
[F#m]she's taking [Bm]L.S.D.
[Em]And [G]now that[A] we're best friends,
she wants to [F#m]give a bit to m[Bm]e[Em]
But what's the matter Daddy,
[E]how com[Em]e you're turning gre[E]en?
Can [Em]it b[G]e that you can't l[Em]ive up[E] t[Em]o your
[A]dream[E]s?"[A]
