    G                      B7   
Two kids from Tacoma in a '72 Nova           
    Em                            C     
No pill and barely old enough to drink     
            G     
Learned the ropes and tested science     
        B7     
Started pentecostal riots     
     Em                                C     
In just five minutes behind the roller-rink     
       Cm     
In the backseat brings     
     
              G     
The American dream on a shoestring     
            C     
First you grow it, then you show it     
              G     
Give a good push just like a Brady     
            D     
Say you'll love them 'till your eighty     
     G     
Too soon to be a mother and father     
           C     
But too late for the alma mater     
             G     
Yeah it's always in the water     
D              G     
Babies makin' babies     
     
          G     
Between diplomas and the diapers     
      B7     
They become couch quarter finders     
Em                           C     
Savin' up for a Maytag microwave     
        G     
Oh but all has been forgiven     
        B7     
On the day the water christened     
    Em                                         C     
The best thing that could have happened by mistake     
     
              G     
The American dream on a shoestring     
            C     
First you grow it, then you show it     
              G     
Give a good push just like a Brady     
            D     
Say you'll love them 'till your eighty     
     G     
Too soon to be a mother and father     
           C     
But too late for the alma mater     
             G     
Yeah it's always in the water     
D              G      D    G   C  G  D 
Babies makin' babies      
     
             G     
Well it's a tried and true equation     
             B7     
Maintains a small town population     
      Em                     C     
And turns us all into a family     
     
              G     
The American dream on a shoestring     
            C     
First you grow it, then you show it     
              G     
Give a good push just like a Brady     
            D     
Say you'll love them 'till your eighty     
     G     
Too soon to be a mother and father     
           C     
But too late for the alma mater     
             G     
Yeah it's always in the water     
D              Em      G 
Babies makin' babies     
          G     
Yes it's always in the water,
