i'm in the living room watching the watergate hearings,

while my stepfather yells at my mother
            G               C    D                G
launches a glass across the room, straight at her head.

and i dash upstairs to take cover,

lean in close to my little record player on the floor,
C                         D
  so this is what the volume knob's for,

  when the police come to get me
