Verse 1
(A5) We started living in an (C5) old house
(A5) My ma gave birth
and we were (C5) checking it out
It was a (A5) baby boy
So we bought (C5) him a toy
It was a (B5) ray gun
And it was (D5) 1981

Verse 2
We named him (A5) Baby
He had a (C5) toothache
He started (A5) crying
It sounded like an (C5) earthquake
It didn't (A5) last long
Because I (C5) stopped it
I grabbed a (B5) rag doll
And stuck some little (B flat5) pins in it
Verse 3
Now we're a (A5) family
And we're al (C5) right now
We got (A5) money
And a little place to (C5) fight now
We don't (A5) know you
And we don't (C5) owe you
But if you (B5) see us around
I got (B flat5) something else to show you

Verse 4
(A5) easy
when you don't (C5) know better
You think it's (A5) sleazy?
Then put it in a (C5) short letter
We keep (A5) warm
But there's just something (C5) wrong when you
Just (B5) feel that you're the hardest
little (B flat5) button to button
Verse 5
I had o (A5) pinions
That didn't (C5) matter
I had a (A5) brain
That felt like (C5) pancake batter
I got a (A5) backyard
With nothing (C5) in it
Except a (B5) stick, a dog
And a (B flat5) box with something in it
Chorus 1
(Asus4) The hardest (C major) button to button

(Asus4) The hardest (C major) button to button
(Asus4) The hardest (C major) button to button
