Nothin' ever (ever) happens in this town
        G5
Feelin' low down (down) not a lot to do around
       C5/G
Here I thought that I would go right out of my mind
        D5/A
Until a friend told me the news

He said (hey) you know that vacant lot right
Beside the gas station, well somebody bought it
And on that spot they're gonna build a shop
Where we can go buy bolts and screws

Since then I've been walking on air (air)
I can barely brush my teeth or comb my hair
'Cause I'm so excited and I really don't care
I've been waiting since last June

For this day to finally arrive I'm
So happy (happy) now just to be alive
'Cause any minute now I'm gonna be inside
Well I hope they open soon

  I can't wait no, I can't wait
      E                   D          A       D
  (Oh when) When are they gonna open up that door?

    Am                            G
    Goin' to the (hard) ware, I'm goin', really goin' goin'
    C                              D
    Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) yes I'm goin' to the

riff  x 4

In my sleeping bag I camped out overnight
Right in front of the store, then as soon as it was light out
I pressed my nose right up against the glass
You know, I had to be first in line

Gonna get me a flashlight and a broom, want
A pair of pliers for every single room of my house
See those hacksaws? very very soon
One of them will be all mine

Guys with nametags walking down the aisles                      (syncopé)
Rows of garden hoses that go on for miles and miles
Brand new socket wrenches in a plethora of styles
All arranged alphabetically

And they're doing a promotional stunt
G5
There's a great big purple sign out front
          C5/G
That says every 27th customer
           D5/A
Will get a ball peen hammer free

  E       D        A       D
  I can't wait no, I can't wait
