Garage sound :
 
A  C#  D  A
 
A     C#   D       A
Oh, oh - I love you
A     C#   D  A
Oh, oh - I do
A       C#          D           A
I got a sentimental promise for you
A              C#   A        A
Please don't go away, oh yeah
 
 
[VERSE 1]
 
 
A   C#m F#m   E A
 
A       C#m              F#m
I was a high school atom bomb
                E    A
Going off on the weekends
A       C#m             F#m
Smoking dope and mowing lawns
               E        A
And I hated all the new trends
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
 
A  C#m                  F#m
Me and my friends sang: "Woh-uh-oh-oh-oh"
E    A         C#m           F#m
It's true, the middle of the road
               E          A
At least it's better than here
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
A
Looking for a cause
    D             E
But all I got was Santa Claus
    A                                     D    E
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
  A
I feel like a cello
D                E
Lost somewhere over the Rainbow
A                              D      E
Way up high, I'm too scared to dream
                A
But too dumb to die
 
A   C#m F#m   E A (x2)
 
 
[VERSE 2]
 
A                C#m   F#m
My daddy always was on strike
                         E   A
Going off with the teamsters
                             C#m   F#m
He said that everything will be alright
                         E
Not every Sunday can be Easter
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
 
A   C#m                    F#m              E
The Picket-Line screamed: "Woh-uh-oh-oh-oh"
      A            C#m
Don't cross, don't cross the line
    F#m                             E  A
Because you'll be a scab, not a martyr
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
A
Looking for a cause
    D             E
But all I got was camouflage
    A                                     D    E
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
  A
I feel like a cello
D                E
Lost somewhere over the Rainbow
A                              D      E
Way up high, I'm too scared to dream
 
But too dumb to...

Looking for a cause
    D             E
But all I got was camouflage
    A                                     D    E
I'm hanging on a dream that's too dumb to die
  A
I feel like a cello
D                E
Lost somewhere over the Rainbow
A                              D      E
Way up high, I'm too scared to dream
                A
But too dumb to die
