[G]Things are okay with [D]me these days
[G7]Got a good job, [G9]got a good office
[C]Got a new wife, [F]got a new life
And the [Dsus4]family's f[D]ine[Dsus4]
[G]We lost touch [D]long ago
[G7]You lost weight
I [G9]did not know
[C] You could ever [F]look so good after
[Dsus4]So much ti-i-[D]i-me[Dsus4].
You re[Eb]member those days hanging [Bb]out
At the village [F]green
[Eb]Engineer boots, leather [Bb]jackets
And tight blue [F]jeans
Drop a [Eb]dime in the box play the

[G] Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
And the [D]king and the queen of the prom[D] [C]
[G]Riding around with the [G/B]car top down and the [C]radio on[F] [C] [F] [C]
[G] Nobody looked any f[D]iner[D] [C]
Or was [G]more of a hit at the [C]Parkway Diner
[G]We never knew we could [F]want more than that out of l[E7]ife
Surely [Am7]Brenda and [G/B]Eddie would [C]always know [D]how to sur[G]vive.
Oooh [F]oh oh [Em]oh oh [D]oh oh oh oh [G]oh
Oooh [F]oh oh [Em]oh oh [D]oh oh oh oh oh
[G] Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the s[D]ummer of '75[D] [C]
W[G]hen they decided the [G/B]marriage would be at the [C]end of July[F] [C] [F] [C]
[G]Everyone said they were c[D]razy
[G]"Brenda you know you're [C]much too lazy
[G]Eddie could never af[F]ford to live that kind of l[E7]ife."
But t[Am7]here we were [G/B]wavin' [C]Brenda and E[D]ddie good[G]bye.
Oh [F]oh oh [Em]oh oh [D]oh
They [F/C]got an apartment with deep pile carpet
And a [D]couple of paintings from S[G]ears
A [F/C]big waterbed that they bought with the bread
They had [D]saved for a couple of [G]years
They [F/C]started to fight when the money got tight
And [D]they just didn't count on the [Em]tears.

They l[F/C]ived for a while in a very nice style
But it's [D]always the same in the [C]en[G]d
They [F/C]got a divorce as a matter of course
And they [D]parted the closest of fr[C]eh- [G]ends
Then the [F/C]king and the queen went back to the green
But you can [D]never go back there a[Em]gain.
[A7]Whoa oh oh [Am7/D]oh oh oh oh
[G]Brenda and Eddie had had it already
By the [D]summer of '75[D] [C] [D] [C]
From the [G]high to the low
To the [G/B]end of the show
For the [C]rest of their lives[F] [C] [F] [C]
They [G]couldn't go back to the [D]greasers[D] [C]
The [G]best they could do was pick [C]up the pieces
We [G]always knew they would [F]both find a way to get [E7]by
[Am7]That's all I [G/B]heard about [C]Brenda and [D]Eddie
[Am7]Can't tell you [G/B]more than I [C]told you al[D]ready
[Am7]And here we are[G/B] wavin' [C]Brenda and [D]Eddie good[G]
