Verso 1: 
B7                          E 
 We took the freeway out of town 
B7                          E 
 We found a place to settle down 
B7                          G#             C#m  E7 
 We bought a driveway and a swingset and a dog 
                      Amaj7 
You got your very own bathroom 
                  Am7 
I got my very own workshop in the basement 
              E       G#     C#m     A 
We sit around staring at the wall-to-wall 
     E           G#     C#m      A 
Take field trips to our favorite mall 
E       G#      C#m      A       F#m              B7 
Waiting for the day when all the kids grow up and leave us here 


       E 
If you need me 
        B7 
I'll be downstairs 
         E  
With the shop vac 
        A                         E 
You can call but I probably won't hear you 
             F#m                    B7sus4 
Because it's loud with the shop vac on  
                               B7 
(for heaven's sake it's really loud with the shop vac on) 
              E 
But you'll be OK 
                B7 
Cause you'll be upstairs 
         E 
With the TV 
        A                        E 
You can cry and I probably won't hear you 
             F#m           B7       E   A   E 
Because it's loud with the shop vac on 

Verso 2: 
B7                        E 
 We hung a flag above the door 
B7                               E 
 Checked out the gourmet grocery store 
B7                      G#              C#m  E7 
 I bought a mower I can ride around the yard 
                      Amaj7 
But we haven't got real friends 
                 Am7 
And now even the fake ones have stopped calling 
         E      G#     C#m      A 
Maybe if you forget to hide the keys 
     E      G#      C#m  A 
I'll take a ride to Applebee's 
     E         G#       C#m   A       F#m             B7 
I'll come home drunk on daiquiris and throw up on the neighbor's lawn 


       E 
If you need me 
        B7 
I'll be downstairs 
         E  
With the shop vac 
        A                         E 
You can call but I probably won't hear you 
             F#m                    B7sus 
Because it's loud with the shop vac on  
                               B7 
(for heaven's sake it's really loud with the shop vac on) 
              E 
But you'll be OK 
                B7 
Cause you'll be upstairs 
         E 
With the TV 
        A                        E 
You can cry and I probably won't hear you 
             F#m           B7       E   A   E 
Because it's loud with the shop vac on 

Ponte: 
Cmaj7                G                           Cmaj7 
I like the Starbucks here that's better than the other one 
          G 
Cause the other one's not as good 
Cmaj7                     C#m7/b5                         D 
They really need to put a light there cause it's hard to turn 
             B7 
It's hard to make a left turn 

(Solo) 

Verso 3: 
B7                           E 
 And when it's time to go to bed 
B7                         E 
 I'm still awake inside my head 
B7                         G#                C#m  E7 
 I'm floating up above the house and looking down 
                   Amaj7 
I guess I gotta go back there 
                        Am7 
I guess there never was any other answer 
           E       G#       C#m     A 
And as the freeway hums the cars go by 
    E          G#    C#m       A 
The headlights roll across the sky 
E    G#     C#m     A     F#m               B7 
Many miles away but I can see them speeding through the dark 


       E 
If you need me 
        B7 
I'll be downstairs 
         E  
With the shop vac 
        A                         E 
You can call but I probably won't hear you 
             F#m                    B7sus 
Because it's loud with the shop vac on  
                               B7 
(for heaven's sake it's really loud with the shop vac on) 
              E 
But you'll be OK 
                B7 
Cause you'll be upstairs 
         E 
With the TV 
        A                        E 
You can cry and I probably won't hear you 
             F#m           B7       E   A   E 
Because it's loud with the shop vac on
