 The Wife, the Kids, and the White Picket Fence by Fair to Midland (Fables from a
 Mayfly: What I Tell You Three Times is True)
 
 Am         F       C                G           
 Mail order brides, turtlenecks, and trophy wives
 Am               F              
 Had the ways and means to breach
 C              G          
 The borders of easy street
 C                  G 
 And to blend right in
        C              
 We all surrounded them
      F            C    
 In a white picket fence
     G         C   
 Now both ends meet
 
 (Chorus)
 F                                         
 Sufficed to say there's a time and a place
 C        
 So I wait
         G                         Em      
 For the tug-of-war and who you'll pull for
 F                                                     Am       
 While between you and me from point A to point B is a fine line
      C                      G   
 That burns at both our good ends
 
 
 Am          F          C            G            
 2 peas in a pod, a battleaxe, and a bastard child
 Am             F  
 took one step more
     C                    G     
 and went straight to the source
 C                  G 
 and to blend right in
             C        
 they opened fire with
       F                
 their rain checks spent
    C    G    C   
 to make ends meet
 
 Chorus
 
 F                              
 Go on, paint the whole town red
 C                                       
 I'd rather follow who cleans up the mess
 G        D    
 And so I wait.
