X-ray Eyes

[G]back in 198[D]1

[G]they were talking about what to d[D]o
[C]stay together or sepa[D]rate
[C]everyday that same deb[D]ate
[Em]i heard them from the w[C]alls up in my r[D]oom

[G]all the kids want x-[D]ray ey[C]es
so [G]they can see when grow[C]n-ups li[D]e
[C]they got their minds s[D]et on the price
[G]the kids want x-r[C]ay e[D]yes
