G                G/B           C 
Little boys and little girls dream of big big things 
Am                              D 
They're taught at a tender age just what life should bring 
G             G7          C 
Get a job, say I do and settle yourself down 
Am                               D 
But what about those of us whose lives are still spinning around 
 
 
CHORUS: 
         C                     D 
Tell me what's so great about picket fences 
G 
Painting them is such a mess 
       C                  D 
And a big backyard where kids can play 
              G 
I'd probably never get a moment's rest 
      C                   D 
And settin the table for five at five 
     Bm                    A7 
Only means more dishes to load 
Am7                    G 
What's so great about picket fences 
Am7          D          G 
I guess I'll never know 
 
 
Verse 2: 
Here I am in my prime, at least they tell me so 
And if I go to sleep at night I always go alone 
I guess that I could have it all and someone by my side 
But I can't take the give and take, the price is just too high 
 
 
REPEAT CHORUS
