C                                F         C 
ask about my problems, I won't tell you no lies 
                                   G 
everyday I'm getting older and the more I compromise 
 
 C                                           F          C 
I've got debt and doubt and worries piled up outside my door  
                                               G        C 
makes me wanna ride my old bicycle down to the grocery store

F                                 C 
and buy me some baseball cards and stick 'em in my spokes 
                                 G        
and ride around the old gym and sneak a couple of smokes     
 C                                         F        C     
then cruise around the car wash, till the sun goes down 
                                  G        C                                   
that used to be enough to make my world go round

I recall when I was younger, how I couldn't wait 
                        G           
until I got older, now it's getting too late 
     C                         F            C                        
to go out and do all of those things that I did 
                                 G       C

and I'd go rolling down a hill, on a yellow slip and slide 
                                  G                    
my friends would count to 20, and I'd run and hide  
 C                                         F           C 
and we'd toilet paper houses, play a little king of the mound 
                                  G        C

now you can leave a message at the sound of the tone 
                              G                 
you can e mail or fax me, or try my mobile phone 
C                                    F          C 
but I"m turning 'em all off, I can't take it no more 
                                                  G        C 
I think I'm gonna ride my old bicycle down to the grocery store
