       Gmaj    C          Gmaj
On the outside looking in

        Gmaj       Gmajdrop6  Em7
another world what might have been

      Gmaj         C     Gmaj
I see laughter and harmony

       Gmaj    D            Gmaj
loving couples, wish it was me


they're trying sushi, they're riding bikes
they dress the same way, they look alike
they have purpose and harmony
those loving couples, wish it was me

              C/D                  Gmaj
and when they argue it's tongue in cheek

          Gmaj            D
day after day, week after week

              C/D                       Gmaj
live for each other right from the start

             Gmaj  D              Gmaj->C/D
it warms you over,   it breaks my heart

             Gmaj  D              Gmaj
it warms you over,   it breaks my heart









very accepting of each one's flaws
very forgiving without a pause
synchronicity and harmony
I don't know how they passed over me

they're making babies that turn out nice
grow up with manners, they're so damn nice
they race on weekends in a potato sack
they love their children, they are loved back

compromises are never hard
their life reads like a hallmark card
they have nicknames no one else knows
like "widgie", "boopsie", and "sausage toes"

"big banana" - "tuna pants"
"miss demeanie" - "doctor romance"
"nude crusader" and "greg lamond"
initials U.B. for "unnatural blonde"
the letters U.B. for "unnatural blonde"

loving couples, holding hands
shop & play hoops making plans
they share a purpose they share a bed
those living couples wish theywere dead
loving couples get away
please go underground till groundhog day
oh great comntempt and jealousy
seems those two got the best of me
