Verse 1:
               G             D      A
We’re growing mint, we’re growing tomatoes
                G      D         A
Watching the neighbor work on machines
            G       D        A   Bm
You know I don’t believe in miracles
       E   G
Or in destiny
                  G     D          A
You watched the water pool at the back door
              G        D           A
And so you drained it all to the street
           G    D         A          Bm
Isn’t it funny how everything boils down
      E         G
To a want or a need

Chorus:
                D  Em
Ain’t it sweet?
           G                      D   Em
That you never had another bad dream?
         G                         D   Em
That it got you out of East Tennessee?
           G                          E
That the world isn’t as tough as it seems?
            G                            D Em G
Would you share a little fortune with me?

Verse 2:
                G     D        A
We’re taking samples from lemonade stands
               G      D           A
We find the fastest route to the lake
             G     D           A    Bm
Aren’t the people here happily unaware
          E           G
Of the scenes they create?
             G      D         A
You want to take a Polaroid picture
           G         D          A
So we get all our friends in a line
           G    D              A     Bm
Isn’t it funny how everyone settles down
         E       G
For a moment in time?

Chorus:
              D  Em
Ain’t it fine?
             G                      D   Em
That we’re never wide awake before nine?
            G                     D   Em
That our future is the only deadline?
          G                      E
That we never left each other behind?
            G                       D    Em G
Would you share a little fortune tonight?

Instrumental (x2): D Em G

Ain’t it sweet?
           G                      D   Em
That you never had another bad dream?
         G                         D   Em
That it got you out of East Tennessee?
           G                          E
That the world isn’t as tough as it seems?
            G                            D
