 the scream and shouting had begun

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
