 G          D 
 back in 1981
 G                               D 
  the scream and shouting had begun
 C                         D  
 my parents were still married
      C                   D  
 and had their hatches buried
 Em                C                     D  
 they told me everything would work out fine
 
 G          D 
 back in 1982
 G                                D 
 they were talking about what to do
 C                    D   
 stay together or separate
 C                     D  
 everyday that same debate
 Em                     C              D  
 i heard them from the walls up in my room
 
 G                   D     C 
 all the kids want x-ray eyes
    G                     C       D 
 so they can see when grown-ups lie
 C                     D              
 they got their minds set on the price
 G                C   D  
 the kids want x-ray eyes
 
 G         D

 Em                     C                    D 
 that all the kids do exactly what they're told
 
 G                    D    C 
 all the kids want x-ray eyes
 G                         C      D 
 so they can see when grown-ups lie
 C                     D

 G                        C       D 
 so they can see when grown-ups lie
