American Aquarium Lyrics




[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
     C                                         F                         C
It's finally here, that time of year when your favorite flowers start to bloom
        C                   F                           G
And the showers of April cascade into the sauna we call June
F                G             C                        F
Yesterday was my birthday, the first one since you been gone
       C                  F     C
All my friends say it gets easier
                         G           C
All my friends have been known to be wrong
 
[Chorus]
    F              G            C               F
You left in such a hurry, I had so much left to say
           C                       G
I was just passing by, thought I'd stop and say hi
           F        G                C
And that I miss you,  Happy Mother's Day

[Verse 2]
    C                        F           C
The two of you said, "I do", July 4 of '76
       C                                  F                              G
It was all sunshine and rainbows till you threw a couple babies in the mix
  F        G              C                F
A shining example of what love could truly be
       C                                 G
Like a castle made of sand, watched that mountain of a man
      F                               C
Fall apart when they laid to rest his queen
 
[Chorus]
    F              G            C               F
You left in such a hurry, I had so much left to say
         C                       G
I'm just passing by, thought I'd stop and say hi
           F        G                    C
And that I miss you,  Happy Independence Day
 
[Bridge]
     Am                      F                   C
Last New Year's Eve was like no other new year before
    Am                                F                                     G
You never think you'll get that call, till that call comes knocking at your door
 
[Chorus]
    F              G            C               F
You left in such a hurry, I had so much left to say
           C                       G
I was just passing by, thought I'd stop and say hi
           F        G                  C
And that I miss you,  Happy New Year's Day
