Intro:
C F Am F x 2

C
Quarter in a payphone
Drying laundry on the line
         F
Watching Sun tea in the window
Pocket watch for tellin' time
C
Seems like only yesterday, I'd get a blank cassette
   F                                             *No Chord*
Record the country countdown, 'cause I couldn't buy it yet

C F

            C
If we drove all the way to Dallas
Just to buy a Easter dress
           F
We'd take along a Rand McNally, stand in line to pay for gas
    C
God knows that shifting gears, ain't what it used to be
             F
I learned to drive that 55, just like a Queen, three on a tree



C                      F                Am
Hey, whatever happened to, waiting your turn
         F      G               C                       F
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
          Am                   F
It's only worth as much as the time put in
   A#                                F
In all just seems so good the way we had it
A#                     F           C
Back before everything became, automatic



C F Am F


 
   C
If you had something to say
You'd write it on a piece of paper
F
Then you put a stamp on it
And they'd get it three days later
C
Boys would call the girls
And the girls would turn them down
        F
Staying married was on the way to work your problems out



C                      F                Am
Hey, whatever happened to, waiting your turn
         F      G               C                       F
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
          Am                   F
It's only worth as much as the time put in
   A#                                F
In all just seems so good the way we had it
A#                     F           C
Back before everything became, automatic


C F Am F

C    F    Am F
Automatic



      C
Let's roll the windows down
Windows with the cranks
     F
Come on let's take a picture
    F *fade out*
The kind they gotta shake


C                      F                Am
Hey, whatever happened to, waiting your turn
         F      G               C                       F
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
          Am                   F
It's only worth as much as the time put in
   A#                                F
In all just seems so good the way we had it
