A

[verse 1]
A
We need something… to get
                                            E
The boys and the girls out of the house and into the yard
                    D
Turn the sprinkler on
                    A
Turn the sprinkler on     mmmmm

[verse 2]
A
Ts ts ts ts ts ts ts
E
Talk it out
              D
Could we talk it out
             A
In the summertime

[verse 3]
A
Love of mine, love me in time
                                    E
I’m trying to get out alive... with love
     D               A       
on my mind....    oh

[verse 4]
A
Do I get the kids for the weekend
                                    E
Do I, I may not have - more of - a baseball diamond
       D                A
And pounded bases in the sand

[verse 4]
A
When a wiffle ball hits a plastic bat
                                             E
And there is a line drive there is no broken glass
      D             A
There is no broken glass
           E                                  D            A
Oh be careful, be careful around these parts

[verse 5]
A                               E
So I lie on my back in the tall grass
         D                      A
I should mow I know, it grows so fast
              E                   D         A
Just like our love, just like our love once had

[verse 6]
A
Well I was younger then, weaker perhaps
                             E           E7
But now I feel as strong as a jungle cat
        N.C.
mmmmm I’m kidding
                     A
I feel pretty bad….

[verse 7]
A
A day spent with my youngest son
A
I broke down on the pitchers mound
E                     A
And cried out, I need time
        E                           A
To gather myself, like broken glass
