[Verse 1:] Mark
D            G
Beige little boxes
     D   D
in a row Neighbors
    G
and friends that
          D
you don’t know
Here’s a form go
        G
wait in line Can’t
you see I’m doing
Em
fine It’s what
     D
I’ve always wanted 
D          G
Two little kids out
       D    D
on the lawn Once we
    G             D
had love now it’s gone
 
Good things haven’t
         G
happened yet I’m empty
           Em
as a movie set It’s
          D
what I’ve always wanted

[Verse 2:] Mark
D           G
Wearing all black
           D
out on the beach
D          G
Faces I’ve seen
       D
in magazines
Let’s take a walk
           G
out on the pier
Watch the shoreline
     Em
disappear It’s what
     D
I’ve always wanted
