I am not quite happy with the chords. So, if you know better:
Suggestions and corrections are always welcome!



            
Here we stand like an Adam and an Eve
           
Waterfalls, the Garden of Eden
               
Two fools in love so beautiful and strong
                    
The birds in the trees are smiling upon them
                                              
From the age of the dinosaurs cars have run on gasoline
                                     
Where, where have they gone? Now, it's nothing but flowers

                                                
There was a factory, now there are mountains and rivers
            
You got it, you got it
                                                    
We caught a rattlesnake, now we've got something for dinner
            
You got it, you got it
                                                     
There was a shopping mall, now it's all covered with flowers
            
You got it, you got it
                                     
If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower
            
You got it, you got it

         
Years ago I was an angry young man
         
I'd pretend that I was a billboard
            
Standing tall by the side of the road
              
I fell in love with a beautiful highway
                                                   
This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees
                                  
Where, where is the town? Now, it's nothing but flowers
                                         
The highways and cars were sacrificed for agriculture
                                                   
I thought that we'd start all over, but I guess I was wrong

                                                 
Once there were parking lots, now it's a peaceful oasis
            
You got it, you got it
                                                
This was a Pizza Hut, now it's all covered with daisies
            
You got it, you got it
                                           
I miss the Honky Tonks, Dairy Queens and 7-Elevens
            
You got it, you got it
                                            
And as things fell apart, nobody payed much attention
            
You got it, you got it

                                                      
I dream of cherry pies, candy bars and chocolate chip cookies
            
You got it, you got it
                                               
We used to microwave, now we just eat nuts and berries
            
You got it, you got it
                                                   
This was a discount store, now it's turned into a cornfield
            
You got it, you got it
                                                       
Don't leave me stranded here, I can't get used to this lifestyle
